Your love of hiking, climbing mountains, biking, jumping out of a plane, etc,etc,etc, ; another's love for painting or writing, another's love for sewing or a collector of items, my love of the Bay of Fundy, etc,etc,etc - Isn't it wonderful that God made us all so different that we get to share these wonderful experiences - I might have otherwise never met yu DJan. Thank you for all the wonderful adventures you deliver to my desk. I sure do love it and thank you for the note the other day. You have yourself a nice day.

It just wouldn't be safe to make a trip like that now. Of course, even if we lived in a perfectly safe world, I wouldn't be signing up for that-I'm too attached to my comforts and my home base. <br />It's interesting to look back and see the different occurrences that helped us reach our place in life. This is a happy one! One of the things I so admire about you is that your group gets out in any weather instead of waiting for the ideal conditions.Whitney Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07766231420593480962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-76156507136065401052012-02-24T10:18:47.102-08:002012-02-24T10:18:47.102-08:00I enjoyed your little history of your exercise exp...I enjoyed your little history of your exercise experiences.

I kind of had the opposite happen to me when I moved to Spain oh so many years ago... being surrounded by "city folks" and without any visuals to inspire me I slowly forgot my old love of hiking (from the city of Alicante all you see that looks gorgeous is the sea, ther est of the landscape is brown... it took me a long time to discover the beauties hidden behind the lcoal mountains). Fortunately I've been able to correct that lately, but, much as I love my friends, I sometimes wish they were the kind of people I could have convinced to get out and about...CrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-24779179575947967852012-02-23T10:17:19.356-08:002012-02-23T10:17:19.356-08:00Isn't it interesting how life takes us down di...Isn't it interesting how life takes us down different paths, ourselves to find.<br />You have led a very interesting life and I'm pleased you find the time to share it with us.<br />I don't think I would, nor ever did, dare to sleep in a park!!Stella Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699491230987143490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-7584970336244879042012-02-23T08:25:52.945-08:002012-02-23T08:25:52.945-08:00Whew, girl...what a wonderful inspiration you are ...Whew, girl...what a wonderful inspiration you are to all.<br /><br />You rock!!!<br /><br />God bless you and have a terrific day!!! :o)<br /><br />Hope your in your element today!!!Nezzy (Cow Patty Surprise)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10175389676508928061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-56857199443133920852012-02-23T08:17:22.260-08:002012-02-23T08:17:22.260-08:00I love Colorado.

I like to read about what motivates people to be tuned into their quality of life. Your hikes inspire all of us who enjoy reading your blog. I like to feel healthy and fit and those require proactive efforts--exercise and diet. It seems, from observations of older people throughout my life, that exercise and diet are key to a long, healthy life. We can't control everything, but we can control those.R.
