Dear Yesterday

Highline Trail
On this, my third crossing in less than a month, i didn’t use the safety cable to cross the treacherous (for me) first 200 meters. You can see the cable on either side of Dave’s shoulders.

 

Highline trail
Dave didn’t use the safety cable and it was his first crossing.

 

Dear Yesterday,

If it weren’t for the experience you provide each morning when i reflect back, there’s no way i’d ever be able to see my progress (and my backsliding sometimes).

Without you, i’d have no one to coach and encourage me. Thank you for always being there.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

 

Dear Tomorrow

St Mary Lake
St Mary Lake on Glacier National Park’s east side. It will be there tomorrow, but will i?

 

Dear Tomorrow,

Thank you for the promise of another day. You give me hope.

Ps. Please don’t let me become so dependent on you that i squander today.

Hey jeff, don’t forget your clock is tickin’

Going to the sun road
Going-To-The-Sun Road

 

Going to the sun road
Perhaps it is.

 

Going to the sun road
Wow.

 

Mindlessly going from one day to the next, thinking that sometime in the future we’ll become serious about getting our priorities straight, once and for all.

How’s that working out so far?

Live like you mean it means something to you or it doesn’t.

Which is it?

Truth is, we all flow in and out of sunny (smooth) days and cloudy (turbulent) days.

Life’s “weather” should never dictate our joy, gratitude, resolve, or attitude.

If your goal isn’t impossible

perseverance
You are a runner and writer but not in that order. Cross Country race Saturday, read your book (what you’ve written so far) yesterday.

 

If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.

Reading the first 30% of your book yesterday blew me away.

Perspective is everything

West Orange HS Cross Country
Girls 5k at 8am, boys at 8:30am.

 

Perspective is everything.

Someone will be first and someone will be last.

How you handle these two situations says a lot about who you are.

And this is for everyone, not just the two who actually are first and last.
