Publishing the "drafts"

Summer.  It always goes so damn fast!

I neglect to write, do I neglect to reflect and enjoy the moments?  Sometimes I think I do.  This morning while flipping thru my phones photos, to give Max beta on something, sparked something.  It had just given myself a mini-slideshow, reminding me of all the running around we do during the summer.

For those of you who don't know, I do have a job...well a few actually.  I travel and adventure a lot, its true, but most of is for work.   My main source of income is working as a climbing ranger for Rocky Mountain National Park.  We are on backcountry patrols climbing or hiking every day.  If an incident happens in the park we are the on-call Search and Rescue team, particularly when it comes to technical affairs.

I moonlight these days at my best gal's place, Ed's Cantina and also teach for Remote Medical International during the winter months, wilderness first responder courses and the like.  So I work and I play and I enjoy a glass of wine most evenings.  Life is not cheap, but nor is it forever so I might as well make the most of it.

Sitting still is a difficult task, but oddly enough so is training full-heartedly.  I give effort but most the time maximum effort is during show, the actual moment of aspired goal.

I am not sure where I was going with this blog, ha!  It is now November.  I obviously did not finish my reflection before I moved on to another task, another objective.

Brilliant insight, eh?  

This was written summer/fall of 2016. November is the last sentence :)
