Is it shameful to neglect your best choices?

Is it glorious to prioritize your priorities?

Hell yeah.

Swimming pool at sunset
Perfect way to end the day after three weeks in GNP.

It’s fun being CEO of Me, Inc.

My boss (me) is letting me do whatever i want today.

He doesn’t care if i take three naps today.

GNP Day 22, HQ

5-second video: Leaving Glacier Park International Airport.
Thunder clouds from a plane
Thunderstorms over the midwest.
8-second video: Descending into Orlando, just before midnight.
Five people walking through airport
No place like it. Welcome home.
5-second video: An under-rated sign most locals no longer see.

Arriving after midnight is never a first choice.

Not a second or third choice either.

But in the context of alternatively sleeping in the Denver airport and not knowing if we can all fly together (in first class as originally booked) – or when we can fly – Arriving home after midnight feels like hitting the lottery.

Some priorities ebb and flow, like flight landing time.

Other priorities, like daily five-a-day blogging, never waiver.

GNP Day 21, HQ

10-second video: Super-duper rare. Wolverine.
Mountains at dusk
Last look for today.
7-second video: Goodnight Glacier.

Concluding our day with a 5:00 pm dinner at the bottom of the hill.

They do not take reservations.

Yet a table is waiting.

How does this happen?

Over-focusing on the same things you used to under-focus on or ignore.

What a special and planned way to end a Magical week in GNP.
