Doing your best is all a parent can ask

We started somewhere near four-plus miles away from this Beargrass.
Never gets old because we’ve never seen it this prolific.
“Main Street, USA””, National Park style.
A different perspective.
The trail was decently busy but not over-crowded.

Doing your best is all a parent can ask of their child(ren).

What the child(ren) does from there is entirely up to her or him.

Glacier karma

Glacier karma.

Two nights ago we were first in the restaurant. This facilitated impromptu conversation time with our waitress. We knew immediately that she has a generous and deep spirit.

For breakfast yesterday she served us again.

The karma was even stronger. And as i was still solving for who can we gift a Granite Park Chalet reservation to, after having six others love the offer but unable to accept, it hit me – Kamille.

An hour after the gift invitation she confirmed she could do it on one day’s notice.

In the giving, i received.

And so it will be with you, my Son.

Unlikely we depart at the same time

A party of three (us) had to split up to ride the free Glacier National Park shuttle to Logan Pass from The Loop.

Unlikely we depart at the same time from Earth.

And?

Well, this means one of us will undoubtedly live without the other.

i pray it’s us parents that dies first because no child should die before their parents.

This is a fact of life, but it doesn’t have to be a burden.

i use this reality to be present each day.

Kowing i am going to die one day inspires me to be present.

i do not want to wait until it’s too late to start living.

Growth spurt

Last night, returning from fetching this morning’s drinking and cooking water.
Beargrass from Granite Park Chalet
Twilight sets on the Westside of the Continental Divide – a perfect setting for self-reflection.
Glacier National Park twilight
We stood here reflecting on the past 24-hour growth spurt. Remarkable progress.

Growth spurts can happen at any time.

Like the past 24 hours.

The phrase honeymoon-effect became a well-known slogan because there’s a human tendency to start strong but maintaining that early enthusiasm and even improving upon that strong enthusiasm is challenging because our enthusiasm consistently needs tending.

Enthusiasm has no auto-pilot.

Run your life like you’d run your business

An apparent hiker suicide a week ago closed off Glacier’s most popular trail the day we planned to use it. We hiked an alternative trail. Yesterday, search and rescue teams were transported back to town.

Run your life like you’d run your business.

When you least expect it, good or not so good things can happen. 

An incredible work opportunity. 

A devastating life event. 

Scalable, personal, structure and processes enable you to minimize the negative impact and reduce the recovery time.
