Home invisibility

Home vibrancy habits are invisible. This is why home vibrancy is considered a myth.
dad

No one sees the work vibrant people do at home. This is why vibrant prioritized priorities seem nearly impossible.

On being an elder, at home

USA Track & Field notice — Rarely schedule TV watching at home. Yet exceptions exist, like The USATF Indoor Nationals. Know what inspires you and balance it with all your other responsibilities.

Embrace your unconventional priorities. For me, it’s my salvation.
dad

You know how many people you know who run their life like a business?

That’s right, none.

(That’s my educated guess after dedicating my life to the topic of personal vibrancy.)

i am an unconventional exception–i run my life like a business.

Note: If you are running your life like a business, you should text me +1 407-538-4341 and boldly state it in a way that is believable to an ‘artist’ like me.

Bathrooms and toilets

Dinner plate full of food — First home cooked meal in three weeks. Wonderful.

Apple reminder — Texted the outcome to the college buddy who asked me to check.

We become what we repeatedly do.
dad

Habits are what we think and do without thinking.

Habits can be by design or by default.

Disney taught me to over-focus on being intentional.

Same day, different hemisphere, home

Sunset from jet — The window shade has been closed almost the entire trip. Same on the other two flights as well.

6-second. video: The start of something special.

9-second video: Lyft ride home from MCO.

40-second video: Never gets old. Thank you Walt Disney World.

Thank you for everything.
dad

Life is not all rainbows and puppy dogs.

But it is life.

If you don’t expect more than some basic human needs, you can become astonishingly grateful.

Fly home from Australia, home

Kangaroos — Our first Joey in the pouch sighting. Never expected this on our walk. Rumors were that dusk provided campus Kangaroo-sighting opportunities.

Magic never happens when you want it to. Magic happens when it’s ready to surprise and delight you.
dad

We all agreed a walking trip around the campus perimeter would be a good contextual framework for what will probably be weekly FaceTime calls.

With multiple options for the remaining two hours together, we chose to walk.

Little did we know the Universe was looking down on us and it Graced us with 16 kangaroo sightings between breakfast and dinner, starting with the three at Lookout Cafe.

Prior to our final day together, we had only seen the Reds and Greys at the Australian Zoo.

How do you score such an overwhelmingly wonderful experience?

Karma is the only way i can explain it.

Thank you Universe.

See you later, Australia.
