Boy! Am I glad to find you, Fred. You're talkin' my language: summited Mt. Washington 5 times (World's Worst Weather), bagged every high peak Eastern seaboard (except one), walked, skied and bicycled thousands of miles. Retired defense worker (GD).

I'll be back.

So much of what you wrote resonated. I could look back and see those moments when I wasn't prepared for the jump forward. Not much I could have done about it, as I couldn't predict it and didn't have systems and people in place to help me with the leap. But looking forward, learning from that, I've see how that has to be part of the planning. Which you validated. And if can't plan for it, how do we pivot? I like the optimism. Thanks 😊

I love the metaphors today. So easy to grasp and apply, which I immediately did for several aspects of my life. Useful!
