Triple trip joy

Historic National Park Lodge lobby — Sure seems like they are all watching.

Calypso orchid — Calypso orchid. Tiny. We only saw four on a one-mile trek up 800’ toward Sperry Chalet.

Woman taking closeup photo of flowers — If you zoom in, while fuzzy, you get an idea how tiny the Calypso Orchid is. Ps. Look for the purple-ish color.

Closeup flower picture — The calypso orchid towers at 3”.

13-second video: Even though we are the paying customers, we treat Kevin and Suzie like customers (aka cherished friends in Disney lingo).

Behave admirably.

We get to experience each Glacier trip three times. When we plan it, when we visit, and when we talk about it later.

Lean into discomfort, think differently, and have fun while you reap what you’ve sown.

High achievers know they get three experiences in every experience.

Who knew?

Your dad for starters.

Insight: Vibrancy took me four to five decades.

Dream: My dream is you cut 10 years off that.

Leadership Zoo?

Moose — Moose. Resting.

Big horn sheep — Cheryl’s photo. The nose looks like a heart.

Mountain scene — Gift from a recent Walt Disney World conference.

Bilby toy puppet — Bob Bilby. A real-life Australian marsupial. And, Australia’s “Easter Bunny”.

Grizzly bear versus — Grizzly. Today’s animal photos were taken yesterday.

Leading others often feels like a Zoo. Same with leading self. Be intentionally over-focused to figure it out.
dad

People, and animals, have a mind of their own.

Both can be tamed.

Neither is easily tamed.

Some should never be tamed.

And then there’s this…

Mind, spirit, body

Mountain mercantile — Tree shadows confirm the late day hour.

Stunning beach day. Lake is ‘glass’. Warmest day this week.

What are my home priorities? What is their prioritized order?
dad

Attitude.

Peace.

Movement.

Having fun is a lifestyle, not a slogan.

You are in charge of your thoughts and decisions.
