Happy birthday my friend

Disney Speaker
The closer you look, the more you see. Wild Goose Island and St Mary Lake.

Dear Glacier National Park, happy 109th birthday my friend.

Son, this Summer will be your final pre-college trips . Reflect on the personal growth you’ve experienced. Reflect on the natural beauty and magnificence you’ve witnessed.

Long after Mom and i are gone, Glacier will endure as your friend who will always welcome you back and make you feel at home.

RIP Jack Noel 2001

Glacier National Park. My Dad, Jack Noel, never visited.

RIP Jack Noel.

Please don’t live in the past and dwell on what was lost or could have been.

Live fully present now and think about traditions and intentionality.

Getting to a daily place where you can be fully present will be achieved only though the trials, errors, and triumphs of a lifetime of ordinary days.

First Sunday of Lent is hidden?

Hidden Mickey by jeff noel
Hidden Mickey at Virginia Falls in Glacier National Park. The purpose of Lent is often hidden too.

Yesterday was the first Sunday of Lent. Lent is really designed to give every Christian 40 days to prepare for the magnificence of the Holy Resurrection.

Does anyone know why “giving something up” for Lent became a thing?

Guessing the discomfort of abstaining from a comfortable habit is a sufficient trigger to remind yourself it is the Lenten season. Or maybe it has to do with Jesus not eating for 40 days – the suffering. Maybe it’s the discomfort suffering.

Got the first choice accommodation​

Granite Park Chalet availability
This availability disappeared within 24 hours, and i got one of these dates because i over-focus on the details others under-focus on or ignore.

Got the first choice accommodation.

Luck favors the prepared.

Luck also favors the organized.

And sometimes luck is serendipitous. Our rain run was palatable because the rain is light, not torrential.

There are 277 requests ahead of you

Granite Park Chalet request
The reservation system overload crash ate up two hours of the day yesterday.

There are 277 requests ahead of you.

This is music to my ears.

Last year it was 700.

Tenacity to keep refreshing the reservation request screen paid off as many hopeful people abandoned their futile efforts.

After 130 minutes of constant screen refreshing, paydirt.

Fingers crossed.
