Regularly stretching your growth mindset boundaries strengthens your mental resilience.

Going into this morning’s second (day-13 post op) follow up eye exam, i already know Dr. Kumar will tell me one of the obvious things i’m acutely aware of.
“There is a decent amount of blood still in your eye.”
What i don’t know is what other insight he will share.
And then there’s the chance weather could close the office today.

Today would have been wheels up at 8:12 AM, heading back to Glacier after one week at home. Photo: 07/15/23…On July 16 hiked to Sperry Chalet for a three night stay. Then the next day, July 17…

Am i disappointed that i’m not on a jet racing to Glacier National Park right now?
No.
Why?
Because i’ve already spent a month hiking in Glacier this Summer.
Plus, this is the 11th consecutive Summer visiting.
No regret nor remorse from this Summer’s second visit being cancelled.

To reach my mid-60’s and return to the exact Motor Inn that started the Glacier love affair 50 years ago…extraordinary Grace. In hindsight, what a blessing to see it with my own two eyes through the lens of an epic milestone and transformational moment.
My goal in life is to be a ‘humble servant’. And to be a fun person to share time with.

In the big picture, i am sort of offended at myself because i’m worried (concern is the better word, but worried is more accurate) about the blogging streak as if it’s more important than possibly losing sight in one eye.
It’s not more important.
But my integrity is also paramount.
For me to say, “i’ve never missed a day” is only possible if it’s true.
i’ve come to enjoy saying it, when appropriate.
Not because it was ever a goal, but because it tangibly illustrates one day at a time as well as or perhaps better than anything i’ve done.
Except for not drinking a drop of alcohol between our son’s first birthday and his 22nd.
And before i began that 21-year streak, i had a streak nearly 30-years long of drinking everyday.
Ps. Today’s other four blogs intentionally are text only.
