When safety is non-negotiable

18-second video: Safety first is a lifestyle, not a slogan.

Heading West to safety. Having fun is a lifestyle, not a slogan.

Safety takes a back seat to nothing.

It’s easier to make decisions when you have prioritized priorities.

Target practice

Know your target before taking aim.

dad

A refined target is the easiest to aim at.

Hitting a refined target can take a lifetime.

Personal vibrancy in all five of life’s big choices is a refined target.

Specific trails on specific days is a refined target.

Spending a week in Glacier’s limited early-May offerings is a broad target. Refinement takes place when we let go of ‘busy-season’ details. Peace and contentment can flourish because of this trip’s unique factors.

Round trip drive time, not counting stops, is between four and five hours. With sightseeing stops, we will be out roughly 12 hours.

Rock on with your old self

Age is only rock and roll, but i like it, like it, yes i do.

Aging is life’s greatest adventure.

Your reward for doing what everyone else does is getting what everyone else gets.

After a few decades of observation, my way forward became clear.

And then life whispered…

Want a different reward, do life differently.

Too good, physically

Everything matters. Nothing is optional.

dad

Obviously, this quote is not for everyone.

In fact, if i said this to everyone i know, i’d lose many friends.

A zealot is challenging to be around.

Take politics, religion, fashion, etc.

Take personal vibrancy.

Take physical vibrancy.

It used to be challenging for me to think about and focus on my personal physical health responsibility. A busy life often makes health goals low priority.

These days my personal vibrancy mantra raises the bar: Everything matters. Nothing is optional.

Why?

Because if a panel of experts were to issue me a grade, it’d be awesome to get an A+.

Note: i’m expecting an A+ from the panel. Sounds too good to be true doesn’t it?
