Dear Son – Page 84 – Disney Employee Engagement Speaker

Village Inn at Apgar

Logan Pass sign — Cold and very windy for mid-July.

Highland Trail sign — Very excited for what awaits.

Glacier wildflowers — High altitude meadows welcome the beginning of the trail.

Highline trail — Every trail enters Grizzly habitat.

A deeply engrained lesson from Disney: Safety first.

Only 300 meters into the Highline Trail and we encountered dangerously high winds.

To turn back would be disappointing.

To continue would be potentially life threatening.

Easy choice.

We were ‘cold’ from the minute we exited Kalispel airport yesterday.

Dear Son, it’s evident you’ve begun your revelation into understanding the importance of a healthy body. Your motives for exercising will ebb and flow over time. Eventually your motive will simply be to remain healthy and active.

And you will get to this place when you fully understand that being as healthy as you can be is directly linked to personal integrity, gratitude, and happiness.
