Coin’s backside. There was an East and a West Jamboree. The East was in my home state, so you can guess where i wanted to go.

Enjoy, cherish, and protect your childlike wonder.

Tapering down, ramping up

Mountains
Steve sent this yesterday. He had cell signal at summit. They were the only ones on the mountain. Exhilarating and potentially scary simultaneously.

Digging, raking, planting, shopping, weeding; tapering down on all.

Walking; ramping up.

Four days and counting down.

Love to change?

Zooming through the window a bit. Feeding our bodies and our spirits. My seven-year old self is impressed and inspired.

What is your relationship with discomfort?

Love to change?

Or, love to grow?

Grow requires, demands, change.

Shunning discomfort is shunning growth.

Loving discomfort is loving growth.

Glad we cleared that up.

Family traditions

Five. Hikers in the mountains posing for a picture.
So good.

Love how a simple experiment to add to our annual beach vacation has morphed into the annual Glacier trip.

During the High School years, we invited two freshman Latin class classmates to join us.

Their parents understood the gravity of the wilderness and my commitment to safety as a non-negotiable.

Decently rare

10-second video: One million acres. Over 700 miles of trail. Plenty of animals. Sighting the big ones is decently rare.

Back in the day the wild was humanity’s gym.

For eons, no need for a gym.

The “gym” and “exercise” was how you stayed alive.

Fast forward to modern time, we call exercise what we used to know simply as staying alive.

Consider this: To this day, being active is an excellent way to stay alive.

Note to self, strive to create a lifestyle that is active enough it becomes your gym. For example, this Summer’s visit to Glacier and the high-altitude hiking and climbing required to get from point A to point B is the “gym”.

Final note: Wherever you are in life, creatively, and joyfully, make the most of your time.
