Seasonal goodbyes

24-second 2020 video: Saying goodbye to ‘friends’ at the Piegan-Pollock saddle.

Each Glacier visit since 2013 has been marked by an ever-increasing reality that eventually, and without warning, that Glacier trip will be my last.

Being mindful and present to know this empowers me to make the most of each and every day there.

In a perfect (excellent) world, this happens 365 days a year, no matter where i am or who i’m with.

Jack the bear is a signature story. It’s about knowing your purpose versus your job’s tasks. It’s also about the power of going the extra inch.

Live your life so that if anyone ever says anything bad about you, no one will believe it.

Remembering karma

Summer 2021 visit. Pixar Soul and Pixar Luca were the featured hiking companions. Last year was our hometown’s 50th anniversary celebration kick off. Mei from Turning Red and Buzz from Lightyear are the 2022 Hiking companions.

Remembering karma and serendipity.

With deepest gratitude, thank you karma and serendipity.

Trail etiquette

Gunsight Mountain, left. Edwards Mountain, right.

Trail etiquette:

  • Pack it in, pack it out
  • Always hydrate (drink a lot) before hitting trail
  • Carry more water than you think you’ll need
  • Ascending hikers have right of way
  • Step aside if a faster hiker(s) catches us
  • On flat trail with hikers approaching from the opposite direction, it’s always nice to be the first to step aside
  • Never approach wildlife
  • Please speak up if you want to stop for a moment (for any reason…water, photo, snack, delayer, add a layer, ask a question about something you see, etc)

Different is art

Singleshot Mountain, center. The Great Plains to the right.
St Mary Lake and Divide Mountain. The Great Plains to the left.

Be free to do what brings you joy. What brings you joy may be misunderstood by most. For example, transitioning from lifetime content consumer to lifetime content creator. From reading books to writing books. Up next is that foolish idea to write and publish a seven-book Disney Business Wisdom series.

Different is art.

Meanwhile, a 30,000 item Facebook cleanse (deletion) reunited me with many of the Mid Life Celebration book reviews. The 30k deletions include “likes, comments, tags, posts”.
