My father was a writer. He wrote all of his life, inflicting upon many of us his novels, plays, articles, essays, and self-help books. Some were marvelous; some merely well-intentioned. But of all the things he wrote, his journal is his legacy: by turns wise and bewildering, it neared 1,100 type-written pages when he died in 2010. Although perused many times, this is the first time it will be read - cover to cover, page after page.

Take It Mountain By Mountain
Expecting to move every mountain leads to frustration when just one will not budge. Better perhaps to take it mountain by mountain, and even then stone by stone is not a bad idea. It may also be helpful to consider the why of the project, as well as where we intend to put it. Keeping too many mountains in the air is not all that easy, or helpful, and shifting them so one just replaces another seems no more than impressive.
