Summer solstice 2025, body

purple flower fireweed
Fireweed. This photo is from behind Glacier Park Lodge, next to MidVale Creek.

Fireweed, Beargrass, Glacier Lily, and Paintbrush are among my favorite Glacier flowers.

Daisies still reign as supreme favorite.

Currently playing Bob Marley on every Home Pod.

Windows open.

Fall’s semi-tropical plants offer a rainbow of yellow, reds, greens, oranges, whites, and pinks.

Worth noting all these colors are year round. Perhaps then, we could consider Summer Solstice colors a sort of permanent vacation.

Change what you see, body

Snow-covered mountains

You know the drill, right?

When you change what you see, what you see changes.

Change your health habits, change what you see (and feel).

The need to grow, body

Waterfront view from a hotel room balcony at night
We lived here for weeks. A 1.5-mile walk to the Pacific Ocean.

Here we are, 14 months post retina-repair surgeries (there were two, 3-weeks apart). And a several-month Summer (2024) Glacier trip. Not to mention Cataract surgery in May. And you know what?

i’ve become flabby.

Thought Glacier would shred me and tone me.

Not this Summer.

i played it safe by backing off the gas peddle. Less miles. Lower intensity.

It’s literally disrespectful, if i’m being real with myself. This is my worst physical state in 25 years.

The great news?

i’m alive and lucid.

How cool is that?

i’m growing by adding this unprecedented life experience to my life resume.

Favorite exercise? Body

Apple iPhone alarm
A growth mindset easily sees sleep as an exercise.

Favorite exercise?

Running.

And when unable to run, walking.

Haves and wants, body

Three people making their beds in a mountain chalet
You rent the linens. But you make your own bed at Granite Park Chalet. August 2024 (two months ago already).

Physical vibrancy has three big buckets:

  1. Movement
  2. Rest
  3. Nutrition

We need those three.

Yes, and…

Personally, i want these seven:

  1. Endurance
  2. Strength
  3. Rest
  4. Nutrition
  5. Flexibility
  6. Core
  7. Motivation
