GNP Day 15, mentally

National park lodge dorm room
Simple yet effective. Yesterday morning’s 630am goodbye to Lake McDonald Lodge’s Snyder Dorm room.
National park motel room
Waking up here provides quickest airport access.
RV Park office
Worked quietly and patiently for five hours when Ryan said Lily snagged a room i suggested. Checked in. Drove to room to set up a simple arrangement. Then back at ‘my office’ in the mini van.
RV Park office
After setting up room – sanitizing with Lysol  – returned to a shaded spot and kept working.

Babb is the closest ”town” to the ”town” we are staying in. St Mary doesnt have a weather page.

Exciting, growth-mindset times.

Eight Floridians arrive from Orlando today.

Four are first-timers.

Mountain chalet
Welcome to backcountry ‘luxury’.

Growth mindset brings you things a closed mindset cannot fathom.

To this day, today, i can easily feel guilty for an over-abundance of blessings.

Going to Sperry Chalet for one night is a lifetime dream come true.

This Summer will be at Sperry three times, six nights total.

Today is reservation two and night two.

GNP Day 12, mentally

Apple Watch on someone’s wrist in the mountains
Here we go again. Third day in a row. Oberlin summit #26 beckons.
Series of waterfalls in the mountains
Being the only one on the mountain early or late in the day used to frighten me.
Fossilized shallow-ocean floor (foreground).

Said it before and saying it again, do what you fear and the death of that fear is certain.

It’s only impossible until you do it the first time.

Less than 12 hours from last night’s sunset summit. What a privilege. This is not lost on me.
It’s a coming this way…
7-second video: Will i make it to the top before enveloped in clouds?

Find a million ways to stay motivated.
