You know what?

The intentionality in this photo is too much to explain. Cheryl knows. Chapin gets it. And of course, i orchestrated it.

You know what, a couple weeks ago i started asking myself, “Do you want to continue daily writing/blogging?”

The question is new for me.

The answer is, “Not sure.”

Ps. The Glacier posts may be refined, shortened, and otherwise re-crafted. It was a good rough draft but i find it verbose.

Oh, that’s right

A milestone in 2022: 62 days in Glacier National Park. Previous record was 50 days – in 2021 (and in 2020).

Oh, that’s right, resolutions always never work.

But you’re reframing that.

Resolutions always work.

We must become comfortable knowing that resolve takes time.

We must also become comfortable that belief morphs into faith, faith morphs into action, action transforms into commitment, and commitment blossoms into purpose.

Didn’t reach 22 years of sobriety overnight.

The original act was simply to make December 31 the first day without a single drop of alcohol.

The next act was to repeat that accomplishment (an entire 24-hour period without a drop of alcohol) a second consecutive day.

Pro tip for 2023: Pick a calendar date that has an inspiring personal narrative. Hint: January 1 resolutions are bad karma.

Personal examples: Have used April Fools Day, Tax Day (April 15), Halloween, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve. Personal narrative is amplified when you intentionally pick a memorable and meaningful milestone launch date.

  • April Fools Day – began blogging
  • April 15 (Tax day) – began running one-mailbox-a-day
  • Halloween – retired from Disney (scary)
  • Thanksgiving – announced my first book was published
  • New Years Eve – quit drinking on world’s biggest drinking day

Mental 2021 wins

Dreaming and doing is the epitome of growth mindset.

Mental 2021 wins:

  1. Maintained mental vibrancy all day, every day
  2. (Note: Consistency is the hallmark of quality)

Have always said there are three components to excellence:

  1. Dream big
  2. Get there
  3. Stay there

And the bonus component goes without saying…continuously improve: mind, body, spirit, work, home.

Our son was 8 when i wrote that April Fool’s post (in the red hyperlink above) about scoring zero in golf.

All mental systems go for writing-year 12.
