Christmas means nothing

Only a few people decided to leave early. You can see two of them.

Command decision by 8:30 AM to leave a day early. Granite is a place you never want to leave.

Christmas means nothing without Easter.

Harsh reality: we are perfectly imperfect

baby mountain goat
Cute. Innocent. It’s first harsh Winter is this one.
Momma mountain Goat
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.

Constantly, please

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.
