Granite here i come

Airport flight schedule board
Yesterday. Flying through Denver.

Overslept.

Woke up at 5am instead of 330am.

Set iPhone alarm 800pm – 330am.

Thought 7.5 hours sleep will be a gift. 

Awoke at 2am. Checked phone. Was asleep 3 seconds later. 

Awoke 4:57AM, 90 minutes later than planned. Thought i was dreaming. Luckily (never luck though, always over-focused) the car was ready to go. 

Opened the Motel’s Going-to-the-Sun road-facing window to listen for traffic intensity. It was mild, compared to July. Nearing Labor Day, this delightfully surprised me. Lowered panic mode to decent anxiety, which lowered again to mild anxiety…

Of the 20 spaces at The Loop, will there be one trailhead parking space for me?

Left the Motel room keys on the nightstand. Left at 530am, 45-degrees outside.

Note: Heading out the door in 30 minutes instead of the normal 120 minutes is remarkable. Having the car completely ready to go is the only thing that made it work without panic or rushing.

The great reflection

Disney’ speaker jeff noel
Continental Divide, reflecting during August 2020.

What has Covid-19 allowed you to think about differently than before?

Why?

Why haven’t these thoughts been previously possible for you?

What have you learned from this?

The Summer of Glacier and Quotes is something i dreamt up during the early days (March 2020) of COVID-19, when we didn’t have a clue if travel would resume by Summer 2020.

Bonus year?

What is the blessing of a bonus year?

To live to see Covid-19.

To live to see the world storming, forming, norming, and performing.

To potentially spend another Summer in Glacier, with Cheryl and Chapin.

Total blog posts from Mid Life Celebration’s 5 daily, differently-themed blog posts.

Two worlds?

The world as this is written (March 31) and the world as it publishes (May 31).

March 31 (today, being written): Today’s five daily, differently-themed blog posts conclude an unheralded 11 consecutive years of five daily posts, without missing a single day.

May 31 (as you read this on its published day): We should be spending our second day in Glacier National Park.

Like a time-capsule, Covid-19 will determine the latter.
