Plenty of snow. Everywhere.

Adapt and overcome.

The only constant is change.

Change when you have to.

Better yet, change before you have to.

Lean into discomfort if you want to push your boundaries.

Better late than never.

Better to finally visit Glacier in Winter than never visiting in Winter.

Our first Winter trip to Glacier is unplanned. It feels good and right. Exploratory. Low bar. Fun.

Believe

iPhone trade in value chart
Wondered about my backup phone trade-in value, maybe 7:00 AM today.
healthcare email
Easy to complete the second time. After three weeks from the initial completion, nothing has changed.
hotel reservation cancellation screenshot
Started cancelling everything for 2023.
Garmin GPS plan change screen
Spent the afternoon on small ticket items, and bigger ticket items…
airline flight cancellation credit
Cancelled for a future credit, the one-way ticket. Seems like only five years ago that fee would be roundtrip fare.

Always remember, a long day is a blessing.

A long day.

Emotionally draining day.

Insanely grateful day.

Surrounded by talented local and national experts to help with planning, logistics, changes, etc.

Could have used a six-mile walk but getting zero miles today is still ok, all things considered.

Blessed to be exhausted.

Bonus was watching the final Season three Ted Lasso episode.

Everything about today makes me feel like the luckiest person alive.

Makes one wonder if every day can feel like this.
