All in?

Disney trinkets in mountains
Day 60. This year’s visit will yield a 62-day work-from-anywhere (WFA) Summer.

If you’re not all, you’re not all in.

Blinding flash of the obvious.

When it comes to consistency, there’s something to be said for being a zealot.

For example, take being consistently positive with a growth mindset.

Honestly, who wouldn’t want that?

Even if it made you a zealot.

Annoyingly observant

  • Jody spotted this. Photo: looking back on Mt Oberlin. 
  • Mt Reynolds, pictured here, is called a climber’s trail. There are no National Park trailhead signs. Inexperienced hikers should stay away. 
  • Mt Oberlin from the Continental Divide. 
  • Wildlife sightings are less common in October.

My superpower is .thinking .differently 

Or maybe, perhaps, the “power” lies in being willing to over-focus on the same things most under-focus on or ignore, and then take action. 

Overwhelmingly doing the opposite, the ridiculous alternative to tradition and dogma.

Be prepared

  • October 1, 2021. This morning and day are exceeding forecasted weather.

Be prepared to be challenged mentally (attitudinally). 

This will last a lifetime. 

Imagine your life being fully prepared for the expected, and especially the unexpected, challenges life puts in your path. 

From others. 

From yourself. 

But especially from others.

Now imagine not being prepared for a lifetime. 

Over-focus on the same things others (and you) under-focus on or ignore.

Dear hometown, Happy 50th birthday

Pixar UP toys and Walt Disney World 50th pin on mountaintop
After 50 years, WDW has nowhere to go but UP. 

Hey Walt Disney World, adventure awaits. Be amazed and be amazing. And, happy 50th birthday!

She’s leaving

  • Moments after dropping Cheryl at departing flights curb. Parked. Met her inside. Watched final 12 minutes of The Morning Show, season one. Brilliant storytelling. You’ll learn/experience workplace reality while being entertained. 
  • Drive back to Glacier revealed this mountaintop surprise.
  • Delayed out of Kalispell. But only by enough to place doubt in making connecting Denver flight to Walt Disney World.

Today is empty-nest day 23. Today is also our first day apart in this new reality. Cheryl and i agreed on me staying another week. Would have been easy to fly home with Cheryl yesterday and be in our pool today. However, Jody Maberry on a last minute call, is arriving tomorrow. He (and i) didn’t want to break our Glacier visit streak. This means i will miss my hometown’s 50th birthday celebration. 

Ps. As if someone like me would actually have to be there to appreciate and cherish the milestone. 🥳😂
