Balance is not possible

Always fascinated to see if anyone else in the world publicly proclaims balance is possible.

Balance is not a myth.

Busy doing nothing

snow storm in the distant mountains on a sunny day — Safely down from the snow and driving to Columbia Falls grocery store. Pulled over to grab this shot of the Continental Divide – and what i walked away from.

Glacier National Park teaches me how much i do not need. Glacier also teaches life’s greatest priorities.

Details strengthen stories

storm clouds on mountains — By 6:00 PM, the East side of the Continental Divide, pictured here, is hinting at what’s brewing.

Mountain scenes from Glacier National Park's Granite Park Chalet — By 7:00 PM, bundled up for a cold night. Expecting freezing temps and snow at dawn, September 6.

More people on the trail here than total people i’ve seen on all previous trips combined. Like ants, small dots of people as far as you can see.

Such a powerful story that Christians believe the world’s Savior was born in a barn.

Traveling light is a powerful metaphor

high mountain chalet blurred in background with foreground an Apple Watch screen — Two miles per hour is a valid estimate for any trail in Glacier. To do it entirely uphill is quite remarkable in your 60’s.

laundry in the mountains — Even in cold weather, hiking up can soak your clothing.

water treatment system — The only treated, drinkable water is 400 meters from the Chalet. The level of gratitude for water is palpable.

freeze dried meal prep — Freeze dried meals only require boiling water, a good stir, and a short wait. Eat them right out of the bag. Prep and clean up couldn’t be easier.

snow forecast — At 6,600′, Granite Park Chalet will get 2-7 inches of snow starting tomorrow morning.

i have never known anyone who runs their life like a successful, growing business. The notion intrigued me to try it and changing my focus in 1999 has enhanced every aspect of daily living.

Root cause is our choices

Disney sayings tattoos — Staff tattoos. Hakuna Matata (L) and A Tale As Old As Time (R).

paper plate with cheese and nuts — Sometimes dinner was not a freeze-dried meal.

Two Daisies — Random wildflowers around the Motel.

You’re overwhelmed which is why you’re not making progress. Overwhelm is a heavy weight on our attitude, our health, our spirit, our work, and our home-life.
