Same day, different hemisphere, spirit

Sydney Opera House
Unbeknownst to me, Cheryl was able to snap this shot with a Disney Cruise Ship.
6-second video: Cheryl had the Super Bowl on her phone. It concluded over the South Pacific as we started a 13-hour flight to LAX.
Slept well and decently long. Woke up, raised the window shade and was treated to dawn.

Habits are by design or by default. Over-focus on your habits and rituals.

Pleasantly surprised how long i slept from Sydney to Los Angeles. Had to net about 8 or 9 hours. We descended back on American soil before i could say, “how much longer”.

Fly home from Australia, spirit

Two men on a home security camera
Away for three weeks and no one comes to our front door. Then, ‘the’ day before a 36-hour travel ‘day’, while we are enjoying breakfast at the Lookout Cafe, two men stop by at 5:30pm (Orlando-time) Saturday afternoon. Dinner time for many. Who are they and what did they want? Also, we saw no vehicle so we assumed they walked from somewhere. But from where? Why?
Two men at a residential home
Our neighborhood entrance has a no soliciting sign. Plan for the worst, hope for the best.
17-second video: While managing a bunch of home security camera clips, also shot a few videos as well.

Safety takes a backseat to nothing.

Disney safety mantra

Should mention that our next door neighbor had a home invasion and robbery the day before we flew to Australia.

Our neighbors weren’t home. No one got hurt.

However, it was a late afternoon robbery.

So my antennas are on heightened alert.

And so it goes.

Australia Day 22, spirit

Fall mountain foliage
Not all Autumns are the same. This one was supernatural.

i want and need peace and contentment as much as my next breath.

Not until you are fed up with your spiritual history and your spiritual present will you be ready to burn the ships and move forward spiritually, never looking back.

Australia Day 21, spirit

Colorful Wall painting
Looks like a Kangaroo.
11-second video: While exiting the beach through the dune’s walkway, my all-time favorite ‘jungle’ sound.
Community park
In looking for a water fountain in this Community Park i stumbled on a Rainbow Lorikeet.
Google bird description
Common wildlife.
12-second video: It didn’t escape from a Pet Shop. Local wildlife.

Australia’s Sunshine Coast reminds me of Central Florida (home).

We pivoted quickly after arriving to Australia nearly three weeks ago.

The pivot was easy and simple.

Instead of trying to travel around the Country, we decided to stay local.

Why?

Seeing the sights was not what drove us here.

Australia Day 20, spirit

Mountains
Lake McDonald from above the clouds. Gorgeous.
frozen lake with low clouds
Lake McDonald, same moment, below the clouds, looking fairly uninviting.
32-second video: We started the call at 3:15pm Eastern Time (6:15am my time in Birtinya, Queensland).

Be an artist in your own spirit.

Aging should bestow wisdom.

But only if you over-focus on aging.

Over-focusing on spiritual aging means you are intentional where others are less intention, or completely ignorant, on pursuing spiritual vibrancy.

Spiritually, we reap what we sow.
