It pays to be sneaky sometimes

Was impressed with the technology that provided a list of all alternative flight choices.

It pays to be sneaky sometimes.

Context: Our Delta flights to Glacier National Park got canceled 20 minutes before i ordered an Uber, delaying our departure by one day and providing an unexpected opportunity for me to squeeze in a gym workout.

Snuck in a normal two-hour workout yesterday (a Saturday) because i had been in Spain for five days, and, immediately did a “turnaround” to head to Montana.

Weather made an unchangeable change – we need to fly today, a day later than scheduled.

Awoke at 4am today, with no time to write before scheduling a Lyft. So i write this from 37k’ on the way to Minneapolis.

Son, life is as we make it. It will always be challenging. Learn to control the controllables (like our attitude and our personal processes) and surrender to what we can’t control (like the weather and a cancelled flight).

Physical blank slate

Snow at Logan Pass
The snow dropping from the road marker-poles startled me the first time snow fell from one.

A similar image to this on Glacier’s Facebook page last September inspired me to return late September last year. Never thought i’d ever take a similar photo.

The mashup of color is a gift to witness.

Thank you, Universe, for the gift of eyesight.

 

What if…

We had…

(Every morning)…

A…

Physical blank slate?

Who says we don’t?

Go.

Your slate is clean.

Ps. You get to call this each morning you are gifted to awake to a new day. It ain’t rocket surgery.

Pss. Of course, there’s heredity, genetics, accidents, etc…from all that, we still have choices we control. One of the most obvious is our diet. Fruits and vegetables are inexpensive at their respective harvest times…eliminate sugar, alcohol, and heavily-processed snacks, meats, etc.

Do you know your sleep number?

Howe Ridge fire Glacier
Looking across Lake McDonald at the 2018 Howe Ridge fire, still smoldering. In this case, when the fire goes out, it’s a good thing.

 

Do you know your sleep number?

What if you did?

Let’s assume you know your optimum nightly hourly rest number.

How often do you get it?

What if it were less often or more often?

Best health in 50 years?

Why not?

Wouldn’t it make sense that we become wiser and more disciplined in our commitment to honoring the temple that houses everything keeping us alive?

Awaken like you mean it

Moon over Glacier National Park
Took this one from the deck yesterday morning.

 

Awaken like you mean it.

Why?

Why not?

Today is a gift.

Right now.

Today.

Like the moon, are you full, a sliver, or blocked by clouds?
