Less is better than more

Apple Watch fitness app
Walked 14 miles yesterday and to give my feet a rest i chose to bicycle this morning. As i write this at lunchtime today, i’ve walked 3 miles in the yard doing yardwork. Now it’s time to get ready to celebrate Independence Day.

Less is better than more.

Why?

How?

Less excuses is better than more excuses.

Less complaining is better than more complaining.

Paradoxically, more movement is better than less movement.

More sleep is better than less sleep.

More nutrition is better than less nutrition.

Aging accelerates as we pursue comfort.

Don’t pursue comfort. Pursue vibrancy.

The more i sit, the more i want to sit.

The more i move, the more i want to move.

Countdown to Glacier 2024, body

National park trail text updates
For the first time in 50 years, i’m seeing and hearing about mountain lion sightings inside Glacier.

Every Continent has an apex predator. Some have more than one.

Grizzlies can kill humans.

So can Mountain Lions.

One is not predatory. One is.

For now, it feels like my finger is on the ‘predator’s pulse’. Meaning, last year there was a mention or two of Mountain Lions in GNP. Before that, nothing. Now this Summer there have been a couple already. It’s only a matter of time before there’s an uncomfortable encounter.

Waking up in your own bed, body

Google map
Upper left corner, 5:29am. Goal was 5:30am departure.

Not only are we waking up in our own bed for the first time in three weeks (which we wouldn’t trade being gone those three weeks for anything), we are privileged to exercise in our established community, (sleep in our own bed), and eat in our own dining room.

Simple pleasures and privileges.

Easy to take for granted when you do them day in and day out.

But miss them for an extended time and marvel at how much you missed them.

What seems like a mundane daily routine can paradoxically feel like the royal, VIP treatment.

Sitting for 36 hours

We will mostly sit for the next 36 hours.

It happens.

Rare.

But it happens.

Why?

Globe trotting.
