GNP Day 29, mentally

9-second video: Make random acts of kindness a habit you don’t realize you are doing. The Many Glacier Campground shares the Swiftcurrent Motor Inn’s public bath house. Left a shower token, soap, shampoo and conditioner for some lucky hiker in a tent.

You want mental vibrancy?

Welcome conflicting thoughts.

Pessimism is the iron that sharpens optimism’s iron.

GNP Day 28, mentally

Person sitting on a mountain side
Same breakfast. Same location. Different day.
18-second video: We spent the morning relaxing at the Chalet before heading back down Swiftcurrent Pass.

If you think the price for mental vibrancy is high, wait until you get the bill for regret.

Odds favor a generational legacy. Be careful.

GNP Day 26, mentally

Attempting this trail for first time in 49 years.
10-second video: This view is included on 6:30 AM trailhead starts.

Top prority today — slay my demon-fear.

Hiking a trail today that has scared me for five decades.

There is no room for failure. Even if i have to crawl.

GNP Day 25, mentally

7-second video: Our first hike together in 2022.
7-second video: We both thought a 10-mile hike with elevation was too much on day one. We also thought if we walked slow, we could mitigate over-doing it.
25-second video: “This is pretty good.” Jody is teaching me why and when a midwesterner says this.
10-second video: First animal sighting on this trail.
Mountains
Continental Divide. Eastern slope.

Blessed beyond measure to be given the opportunity to choose my attitude.

And to be able to do it all the time, anywhere.
