Solitude is chasing beauty

20-second video: Not until 2022 did i make the connection that Reynolds Mountain has always been there in plain sight.

Only ones in the Park. The solitude and quiet is stunning.

Solitude is chasing beauty as the lead actor.

The quiet and solitude we experience deep in the wild revealed itself to us in a very commercial location.

However, the commercial popularity is absent here now.

Poor habits decay you faster than great habits.

Poor Faith decays you faster than great Faith.

It ain’t rocket surgery.

i thank God

5-second video: Nothing remarkable. Just an “i was here” vid.

Upper left…arrived 953am for confirmed walk-in appointment.

One of the best things i stumbled into being great at is counting my blessings.

dad

Counting your blessings is technically creativity.

You brainstorm all the ways your “unfortunate situation” could be worse.

Once you start listing a bunch of ways your situation could be worse, far worse even, you regain being present and slay panic.

Was hoping to be on a plane to Montana in six days.

What if the eye regression happened in Glacier?

What if i had to fly home immediately and try to secure emergency surgery?

What if emergency retina detachment repair surgery needed to happen Immediately in Montana? Without being able to fly for two months, how would i (and Cheryl) get home?

What would be the insurance ramifications for out of state and an out of network physician?

Cancel it all?

Family hiking g in mountains
The two other parents here (besides Cheryl and me) are returning this year. But this year (2023) it’s gonna be late September, not late July. We are bundled up because it can be cold and windy in late July.

Plan for the worst. Hope for the best.

You heard me a month ago say that i thought worst case i’ll permanently lose sight in one eye.

Consequently, i wrote off the rest of the 2023 GNP Summer season. For me this turned a record-setting three-month GNP Summer into a one-month Summer.

Yes, and…

While i cancelled almost all accommodations, i didn’t cancel all of them.

Why?

Hoping for the best.

So here we are.

Eye sight is remarkably better than just a week ago.

Can envision me and Cheryl back on a Montana-bound plane.
