Cute. Innocent. It’s first harsh Winter is this one.

Momma knows that surviving a harsh winter will require their very best adaptation to whatever the weather, and predators, brings.
Disney character toys in mountain setting
Experiment 626 (Stitch) goes on every trip, every hike. Special? Totally. The Onward characters are on their first out of state trip.

Everyone tells a story with the consistency of their daily patience, calm, compassion, forgiveness, gratitude, surrender, etc.

Well off the beaten path

The Mountain Goat might see me as an intruder or a threat. There are literally never hikers in this area. There is no trail.

Not only no trail, but an area that requires serious effort to reach. Animals bank on no humans ever being here.

Gratitude is the key to unlocking happiness. Try being unhappy when you are grateful.

Whys are clues

Over the 50 day rental, washed the rental car three times and vacuumed once. What if customers got rated for the way they took care of things?

You’re bored because you aren’t doing what brings you joy.

Matt and his girlfriend led me to here. They offered an invite to summit Clements Mountain. Wasn’t geared up for the unplanned offer.

Made the most of a vantage point i wouldn’t have reached without Matt’s help.

Be constantly grateful. Much of the world would feel lucky to have your bad days.

Use your gifts

Mountain Goat is off camera to the upper right. At 8,000′, i am in the middle of 1,000,000 acres. Alone.

King of the cliffs.

There will come a time, if you’re not mindful, when regret could crush you for not using your gifts – like physical vibrancy at 61.
