Yesterday, December 23, 2018…mail delivery truck drove up into our yard. Country livin’. She was possibly too busy to keep the truck on the road and walk across the yard?
A comfortable amount of time is dangerous.
It gets in the way of taking action.
Why?
Because it can wait until tomorrow.

The gap in the long dark coil spring means it’s broken. Broken means the garage door won’t open. Our garage door is our “front door”.
It’s always something. The unexpected. The little thing that causes disruption in our routine and puts unexpected pressure on our day to day plans.
Our daily plans generally don’t allow too much wiggle room.
This makes a tight situation tighter.
This reminds me why i spend everyday, all day, staying positive – never allowing adversity to crush me.

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.
Rising Sun Motor Inn looking East. Our room is on the corner.
Rising Sun Motor Inn looking West from our corner room.
After a 7am-ish breakfast, the day began with the one-mile drive to St Mary Lake overlook.
Never gets old.
The time of day changes the image.
The viewing angle (lakeside) changes the image.
Zooming out changes the image.
Walking back to the car changes the image.
Wind, over time, changes the image.
Nothing ventured nothing gained. Rather try and fail than not try. i dared a 15-year old to jump in ice-cold water at Virginia Falls with the caveat that i’d do it too. He didn’t take the dare, but i’m glad i dared him. Maybe next year.

Note to self for posterity: 08.01 Monday…St Mary Lake before breakfast, 10am Little Chief boat tour to Baring Falls, hike to St Mary Falls, then hike to Virginia Falls, boat back at 3pm, saw bear, relax at room and lobby for wifi, dinner Two Dog Flats, Logan Pass for three hours, dessert at Two Dog Flats…PS dared Chapin to go in cold water up to neck. Maybe next year.

Yesterday morning. Peaceful. But only ten seconds prior…
We arrived just as the Lab arrived.
You knew it was only a matter of time.
Chaos.
Serenity?
The goal in life is to act on the things we can change and to let go of what we can’t.
That simple, daily exercise is enough to cause great stress lasting a lifetime because so much of our decision making could go either way – and what if we decide wrongly?
Now add to that the stress from a world in turmoil from an invisible enemy, terror.
We see what we want to see.
The fine print?
It’s our personal responsibility to overcome this and not only that, but to thrive in spite of it all.
Last night’s Republican National Convention is sure to cause stress for many people today. For others it will offer hope. The laws of nature include opposites like light and darkness, good and evil, hot and cold, flood and draught. It is up to me to act on these scenarios.

Twenty-four hours ago, i woke up, just like i did a few minutes ago at 5am.
Like everyday.
And like every morning, i checked in on Twitter and this Tweet was the first one i saw…i only read the top part that says, “multiple injuries”…didn’t catch that the shooter was dead…
4am
Then before leaving for Church this one…not sure what mass casualty means…
6am
After Mass, this one…
Then we turned on the tv at home and learn 20 people died…OMG…
8am
And then, to make this all worse than our worst nightmare ever…
11am
Then, at the YuGiOh tournament in Kissimmee, this one…
About 2pm
May we all pause, think, cry, mourn, think some more, pray…and hope for some Heavenly miracle to reign down on humanity.
