1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,240 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Jonesy and Demanda podcast. So I 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:04,840 Speaker 1: thought i'd get up really early this morning. I was 3 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:06,440 Speaker 1: awake anyway, and I thought i'd take the dog for 4 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: a walk down to the beach. Lovely and where I live. 5 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 1: There's so many people, and a lot of them are 6 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 1: visitors and backpackers and people like that who sit there 7 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,760 Speaker 1: and wait to see the sunrise. It's a really energetic 8 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 1: and beautiful time of day. So I was down there 9 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 1: with the dog and waiting to watch the sunrise along 10 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 1: with hundreds of people. It was quite busy, and a 11 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: woman came up to me, and she was quite emotional, 12 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: and she'd heard me speak yesterday about Harley, and I 13 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 1: spoke about Valentine's Day and what it's like sometimes to 14 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,520 Speaker 1: live with someone who has a neurological disease as Harley does, 15 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 1: and how those special days can be tricky, and as 16 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:47,560 Speaker 1: I said, she was quite emotional, and she said she'd 17 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,199 Speaker 1: heard me talking about that, and that she said I 18 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: was speaking for so many men and women, maybe in 19 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: their fifties and sixties, she said, whose lives aren't what 20 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: they imagined, that they'd be true for so many of us, 21 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 1: that unexpected things happen, and all you can do is 22 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 1: roll with what's in front of you. And we spoke 23 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 1: about that, and as we both said, that's all you 24 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: can do is roll with grace, with what's in front 25 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: of you, we both looked up just to see the 26 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,759 Speaker 1: sun rise. I thought, that's what's in front of us, 27 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: that's what's here today. You can't control all the other stuff. 28 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 1: Even five minutes before the dog had knocked over my 29 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: full coffee that I just bought. I can't even control 30 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: five minutes ago. But here we were looking at this sunrise, optimism, beauty, wonder, 31 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: all the great parts of the world. I thought, what, 32 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: apart from the coffee, what a fabulous start to my day. 33 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: And also, that's the only reason I talk about these 34 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: sorts of things about Harley and things. Is it because 35 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: so many of us are going through things, and it's 36 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: important to know that we're not alone. We all imagine 37 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: that we'll be ninety nine and go to sleep in 38 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: our beds, and that's how well our lives will end 39 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: living in our own homes. That's not how that's going 40 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: to go for so many of us. You get old 41 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: and gray and then everything's okay. But it's not the case. No, 42 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: it's not the case, and you're lucky if it is. 43 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: That is the case, But you're also you find your lucky, 44 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: you find your love, you find the optimism in every day. 45 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 1: And it was so glaringly obvious. We spoke about your 46 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: roll with what's in front of you, and bang there 47 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: it was. So it was a lovely start to the day. Right, 48 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: this is good. I'm tired now I might have a 49 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 1: light doown have a light down? Well, you haven't had 50 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 1: your coffee, that's right, damn dog, You're ten dollar coffee 51 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: got tipped all over the footpath.
