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.
Balancing dreams with the pressures of reality. This never goes away because life is constantly putting things in front of us that we didn’t see coming. Solving for these things takes time – time we had intended to spend on our dreams.

Involvement on a team is a key success factor in High School. Photo: Six days ago on the first day of the second week, Cross Country practice.
Involvement is a key success factor in any endeavor. We get out of something what we put into it.
We reap what we sow.
Sayings and cliches only happen because they have stood the test of time – and have become timeless truth.
Timeless.
Truth.
Bank on it.
Attitude is everything.

About 300 meters into and you realize the level of difficulty spikes.
You get used to it after the first time.
The first time can be scary.
Not only are there no parking spaces, but tension mounts as people drive around.
Up early, again. Breakfast at Two Dog Flats. Parked at Logan Pass at 8:45am, just five minutes before all parking spaces were taken. Yes, early bird advantage.
The info-videos say arrive by noon. My goal was between 8:30-9:00am, with a primary goal to be closer to 8:30am versus 9am.
.
PS. 08.05 Friday, final day in Glacier. Breakfast at Two Dog Flats. Logan Pass at 845am (no spaces avail 5 mins later)…hike Highline trail a mile down and back. Watched Six Big Horn Sheep come down from across road. Lunch in room. Packed, checked out at 2pm (no charge) and leisure drive with several stops on Going To The Sun Road. Explore Lake McDonald Lodge…Cobb House, Reading Room, and public dorm rooms. Dinner at Eddies in Apgar…shop. Drive to Kalispel at 730pm to spend the night in town.

Obligatory photo. From Rising Sun Motor Inn, head East and you’ll you leave Glacier and can drive North a few miles before re-entering Glacier.
Many Glacier Hotel yesterday morning.
Getting riding instructions from an experienced rider.
This was a first for the teen, and a second for me.
For posterity.
Yee-haw!
Overcoming is the path to growth.
Little did i know yesterday morning that the day would end with a major personal achievement – overcoming a severe fear. And it had nothing to do with horses.
.
Note to myself for posterity: 08.02 Tuesday breakfast at Many Glacier, Cracker Flats two-hour horseback ride, lunch at Swiftcurrent, relax at Rising Sun, dinner at Logan Pass, Cheryl was not up to hiking Hidden Lake Trail so Chapin and i did the High Line trail entrance. The Highline Trail has always frightened me.
