what I’ve created –

what I’ve watched – 

  • The Gray Man – big budget action

what I’ve listened to –

what I’ve ate –

three beef patties with cheese is always cheaper and more filling than a burger

where I’ve been –

Apache Canyon is great for single night camping

quotes I liked –

“You’d rather play checkers on a leopards ass than mess with a guy in overalls”

“I went to school to get my MRS. degree, it just hasn’t happened yet”

“Nerve is a matter of defiance and control. Like: I refuse to acknowledge that. I don’t agree to be intimidated. I resist the temptation to declare this a failure. But nerve is also a matter of acceptance: Well, I guess it’s on me then. I don’t have the luxury of being shaken up about this or replaying close calls in my head. I’m too busy and too many people are counting on me.”

“Each win, big or small, is important, and the more you do the activity of identifying your daily wins, the more you’ll see greater and greater opportunity for wins”

“A disorganized and non transformed past is chaotic and confusing. another word for this is trauma. Trauma happens when your expectations are violated such that you lose your sense of meaning for life and worth as a person. It is a dysfunctional belief about an experience that creates ongoing dysfunction in the present and future.”

what I’ve learned / discovered –

  • book the trip.
  • pay for audible.
  • the prioritization of physical health activates much more in life than expected. the overall mental, emotional, and physical health booth it creates is incredible. it’s the maximization of life and time and the place you live.
  • interior design principles: multiple light sources, layers, varied heights, varied materials, varied colors

things I wouldn’t do / try again –

75 hard would be much easier in summer months.

ways life is beautiful –

Biking up the closed mountain road to Pine Mtn climbing nearly 1800ft with no one around was beautiful… until I got a nasty flat 5miles from the trailhead. Within twenty seconds of getting my tire off two older bikers rolled up and helped with the repair then disappeared. The Lord provides.
