Cheryl may be in Glacier for a month. Time will tell.

Why prepare for today last night? 

Growth mindset.

Guilt for thinking

Snow from mountain cabin
September 1, 2021. Awoke to snow. View from Chalet room doorway.

Dear Son, sometimes you will feel guilty for being mentally vibrant. Be mentally vibrant anyway.

Cook with your attitude

No UPS or FedEx deliveries here. We are talking old school.

Back country mountain water station
Upon arrival for a three-night reservation, getting the first jug of drinking/cooking water is key to convenience. It’s only a one-half mile round trip walk.

Remy, a rat in Paris and the lead character in Pixar’s Ratatouille, never wanted to eat garbage again. 

He saw everything as a possible ingredient to create something wonderful.

To create something wonderful, in a world that doesn’t see wonderful everywhere.

i see everything as a possible insight, to create something wonderful. 

Ingredients and insights.

They are everywhere.

Never before

Mountain lake
Lake McDonald from a never-before seen (by me) angle. Lake McDonald is 10 miles long.
Mountain range
The massive mountains, the vast wilderness, and my tiny presence is marginalized in this photo.
Mountain range
Northern Rockies, just miles from Canadian border. Highline Trail lower right. Granite Park Chalet (my base camp) upper right-ish.

Lake McDonald. Radical view. Awesome and humbling to reach this angle.
Mountains
L-R: Reynolds, Oberlin (fireground), Jackson (behind Oberlin), Clements, Bearhat (far right edge). Cannon is just out of sight past the right edge.

Big picture, let your life be your lesson.

Divide life into five big buckets (choices).

Master your mind, body, spirit, work, and home.

Starting with mind…

Let your attitude be your lesson.

Shine like the sun

Rocky Mountains. A day hike from here gets you to Canada.

The greatest gift you can give the youth and young adults in your life is your growth mindset lifestyle.

Currently sitting in the dark on a metal bed at 6,600’. It’s 37 degrees. No heat, no electricity, no running water. Pit toilet. One million acres of National Park. Thirty miles from the closest town of 100. No cell signal inside the million-acre Park. Weak to zero cell signal in a 100′ by 100′ square area around the 12-room Chalet.

Just saw a handful of yesterday’s wedding photos that Cheryl sent. Aging is not kind to people who neglect their health. Neglecting physical health erodes your mental health. 

Note to self: become your family’s shining example or their glaring warning.
