You won’t believe what you can do

Not sure i can devote two hours today to this luxury distraction. *
Lake McDonald Lodge marina, looking at the Garden Wall where Granite Park Chalet sits. 
Zooming in to the Garden Wall. 

Do we focus on the lost day at Granite Park Chalet or the glorious day at Granite?

Simple.

Mourn because the rosebush has thorns or rejoice because the thornbush has roses?

A positive mental attitude really is this simple.

Over-focus on your habits and rituals and enjoy the fruits of your efforts.

The time will pass anyway, pick better choices during the time you have.

Remember, this is you training your thoughts so you can do this rethinking while simultaneously doing other physical tasks.

The longer you look, the more you see

Mt. Oberlin draped in clouds yesterday. Rain is on its way. 

The longer you look, the more you see. 

Blinding flash of the obvious. 

Right?

Over-focus on the amount of time you spend nurturing, honing and improving your attitude. 

Why?

So that you spend more time doing it.

Why?

Because you will see and feel things – and learn things – you never would have if you short changed yourself. 

When you change what you see, what you see changes. 

Knowing the obvious isn’t enough, you must act.

The long way is the shortcut

Grinnell Glacier Overlook hike.

The long way is the shortcut.

If heavily promoted shortcuts worked, it would be the standard not a shortcut.

There is no shortcut to Granite Park Chalet.

Up at 5AM, got the last parking space at The Loop, hit the trail by 8:00AM and arrived at Granite Park Chalet at 11AM. Jared took us to room 18.

Life is good.

Later, we hiked three miles roundtrip to Grinnell Glacier Overlook, returning to Granite as the sun set.

To Granite Park and beyond

Yesterday on Mt. Oberlin. Toy Story 4 Character.

To Granite Park and beyond.

Because rain is in today’s forecast, the eight-mile route we take to hike to Granite Park Chalet is still in question.

Either way, it will be an adventure for me and my hiking partner.

He currently hails from Disney’s Animal Kingdom, so he should feel right at home here.

Embracing your inner geek

Everyone is geeky about something. The lucky ones are geeky about following their passions, even if it takes 60 years.

Embracing your inner geek will help you fuel a positive mental attitude.

You know how i know this is true?

i easily imagine life without following my dreams and passions.

Be a geek, a dreamer, a misfit, a believer, a contributor, an artist, a joy.

Or not.

You see how that two-word sentence makes it delightfully (or painfully, depending on our choice) clear we get to pick from one of two options?
