GNP Day 3, Spring 2024

View of store from a driver seat — After the hotel breakfast buffet, we had a U-Haul storage opportunity.

Couple at rural bakery — Between East Glacier Park (the town, not the region) and St Mary. It’s Polebridge’s ‘sister’ location. Pronounced “Key-eye-oh”.

Lean into discomfort.
dad

We are intentionally unintentional with this week’s schedule.

Why?

We have no Spring season experience to draw from.

We know there is snow, and mud, and cold on the trails.

Most trails aren’t open and won’t be for two more months.

Going-to-the-Sun Road isn’t open yet.

We are comfortable leaning into each day without a solid plan.

This is new for us.

Uncomfortable.

And fun.

GNP Day 2, Spring 2024

A couple in hotel lobby — Breakfast, 7am, hotel. Cheryl did a video here that we sent to our son in Sippy Downs (Australia). Bluey is an Australian creation and phenomenon.

15-second video: Real life in real time. Outside it’s 40 degrees, raining, windy.

Mental health is wealth.
dad

The plan today is to drive to Jackson Glacier Overlook. We also plan to stop at East Glacier, Two Medicine, and Wild Goose Island on the way.

GNP Day 1, May 2024

Lyft schedule screen — Wheels up at 807am.

6-second video: Yesterday. It’s over before it starts. Kinda like life.

21-second video: Also yesterday. Shed or you’re dead.

We do not visit Glacier to see wildlife. We go to live a wild life.
dad

The wild teaches me the same lessons it taught Neanderthals.

The strong, the fast, and the cunning survive.

Too good, mentally

Red periwinkle flowers — Periwinkles are in our top three flowers.

The ultimate positive thinking is confident, courageous, and personal.
dad

It’s easy for me to forget how critical it is strive for all five of life’s big choices to be operating at my highest levels.

Why?

Because i’m on auto-pilot.

No thought whatsoever.

Everything matters.

Nothing is optional.

Note: Not perfect. Compared to previous versions of myself, doing much better than the older versions. Wisdom comes from experience. Experience comes from making mistakes.

What’s the difference?

Facebook post about Pixar’s up house being built Southwest United States — Facebook post about Pixar’s Ellie and Carl’s house being built in Southwest United States. What is the difference between Disney Imagineers building it versus a non-Disney entity?

Are you using your own homemade life-recipe or something off-the-shelf?
dad

The photo above and the content below are unconnected specifically but are connected coincidentally.

“What’s the difference” is gonna have many answers.

Unique, stand-alone answers. (my fav)

Standard, predictable answers. (status quo)

And answers intended to be unique but most know they aren’t. (posing)

Bold statements?

Not to me.

(here comes the leap)

And isn’t that the beauty of your home’s kitchen?

You can cook and create whatever you want.

Especially when you are eating alone. Then it doesn’t matter if anyone likes your cooking.

Happy present moment.

Note: Writing has been especially fun and personally insightful the past few days. Will unpack this insight in today’s next four posts.
