Keegan, Glacier Park Lodge GM, invited us a couple weeks ago. He said it was a closing night benefit event for the Blackfeet.

As we got closer to the date, i knew we wouldn’t be up for a dark-mountain drive afterwards. Nor did i want to pay for two room reservations and only stay in one room. We have already done that the six nights we stayed in Granite and Sperry. Reached out to Keegan with a proposal, but he beat me to the punch — he comped a room for us for their last night of the season.

Humbled. Grateful. Honored.

Glacier has been nicknamed “Last Best Place”.

“So what?” is my last best question from facilitating multi-day Business Excellence Programs at Disney Institute.

i remember the moment when it happened like it was yesterday. It was easily 20 years ago.

Many agree that prioritized priorities, for example, are better than priorities without a priority order.

To which i challenge them with. “So what?”

You know the remarkable difference. Good for you. So what? So what are you going to do to achieve and live by prioritized priorities?

4.5 hours to cover nearly 10 miles. Because of the windchill and lack of warming sun, we stayed at the Pass for only 10 minutes.

We will be back another day to return to Piegan Pass. The fact we couldn’t find a weather-protected lunch spot didn’t dampen our spirit.

At home with our priorities, what heights are possible?

Stunning what a soft tool like water can do to a hard tool like rock.

Day 9 CCL, home

Earlier this Summer a woman presumably slipped on a wet rock and fell into Avalance Creek. She did not survive. It took weeks before her body was found. Praying her friends, family, and the Park employees who found her are doing better than expected.

We’re smiling because when we took the photo, we were not thinking about the earlier tragedy.

What do you dream of?

Why?

What are you doing about it?

Why?

Satisfied?
