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?

Will your needle move today?

Lake McDonald from Apgar Village shore. Last night.

Will your needle move today?

What needle?

The metaphorical needle that measures personal and professional growth.

After my 40th birthday in 1999 i began to .think .differently about my life because i became a Disney Institute Speaker in 1999 and a Dad in 2000.

Becoming a professional teacher and parental teacher simultaneously was a perfect blend of positive wake-up call.

There are events you can’t plan for like in the previous two paragraphs and then there are events like today, tomorrow, and the day after that.

Dad dreams

From the bed i sit on to write each morning.
From the deck, the Garden Wall in the middle.
Garden Wall above the close, and low, clouds.

Dad dreams…

Sound of the soft wind, smell of the fir trees.

Traveling alone on the trail with ease. 

Take it all in, the world is smaller than it seems. 

Count every blessing, nurture your dreams. 

Dad dreams…

Who knows why you start and where you go, you get lost in life, but if you’re lucky, you rediscover it again and again.

Take it all in, it’s as big as it seems. 

Dad dreams.

Note: A Jimmy Buffet song, Jimmy Dreams, played as i am preparing to write, from a room overlooking Lake McDonald.

A great mind can be lonely if…

Welcome back.
Superbly homey.

Today’s posts are inspired by being in Glacier by myself, in a big Cabin. 

A great mind can be lonely if…

Your positive thinking doesn’t encourage others to always see the positive side of every situation.
