Oh hey.
This is the part of Bear Lake Local where we write things down. Could be nature. Could be nostalgia. Could be nonsense. Depends on the weather and what we’re overthinking that day.
What’s your why? Not the answer you give in interviews—just the honest one, if there is one. Living near Bear Lake has a way of stripping out noise and making certain questions harder to avoid. This post revisits the idea of purpose, why it matters, and why it doesn’t have to be grand to be meaningful. Sometimes the quieter things are the ones worth paying attention to.
This week brought good news from my financial planner, bad news from the Cubs, a moment of silence for my backbone, and fresh sod for the backyard. Life at Bear Lake — equal parts joy, regret, and grass stains.
