Mountain Connection Newspaper Cover November 2009

“We really don’t need your assistance. Everyone wants to help that day, but we could sure use help any other day of the year.”

It was my first Thanksgiving living in Evergreen and I was looking for a place to volunteer. After calling the Denver Rescue Mission, Samaritan House and several churches, I soon realized no one needed my help.

With no place to volunteer I decided to go snowshoeing at Henderson Mine that morning instead. As I turned off the interstate at Empire, a rock tumbled down the hillside and clipped the rear tire of the van in front of me. The tire blew and I swerved around the van as it skidded to a stop. For a moment I kept driving until it dawned on me, “You wanted to help. Why don’t you go back to see if they need help with their tire?”

An hour later, after changing the tire, the family was on their way to Granby for the weekend.

Feeling good about helping, I then came upon a Jeep Cherokee that was in trouble. It turned out to be a mother and son who had slid off the road into deep snow. After four hours of shoveling, pushing and rocking, we finally got the Jeep back on the main road. Grateful for the help, they invited me to join them at The Peck House for Thanksgiving dinner.  

It’s funny how we get caught up in scheduling our “giving time.” We plan trips to volunteer abroad while overlooking the elderly man who needs help with his groceries at King Soopers or the neighbor who can’t shovel her driveway. евтини мебели

That Thanksgiving reminded me that everyday there are opportunities all around us to give our time and resources. It’s the great thing about giving. It’s always available and it benefits the giver as much as the receiver.

Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving in 2009.

“Live Life. Love Life.”   There it was on the free blankets and water bottles. 

Blanket from Promotion Event

Last Thursday night as we left the AuNaturalAlice concert with Five for Fighting and Safety Suit a building complex in the midst of their grand opening launch had two women handing out the blankets and bottles.

“Live Life. Love Life” sounds like a chiropractic office slogan.

It’s the wellness message that there is more to life than just getting by without pain.

I use to have a poster hanging in my office with the World Health Organization definition of health.

“Health is not only the absence of infirmity and disease but also a state of physical, mental and social well-being.” World Health Organization

Why is the wellness message so popular today? 

It’s because at our core nature all of us want to experience life to it’s fullest. We want to experience more energy, more purpose, more happiness, more love, more etc… Companies are branding their products so we as consumers feel like a piece of clothing or health drink will help us acheive this goal.

Check out this receipt from the American Eagle store. 

American Eagle Receipt

There is the wellness message again  ”Live Your Life”

Or this magazine ad for Vail, CO.

Magazine ad for Vail, CO

While a new hat or a trip to Vail may make you feel good, I’ve found the following to be the fundamentals neccassary for a rich life.

1.  A sense of purpose

2. A healthy, flexible spine

3. Friends and family

4. Connection to something greater than yourself

5. A respect and interest in your own well-being

When you have these fundamentals the working out, eating well, being involved, etc… are all part of who you are instead of something you think you must do.  It’s subtle wording, but a profound difference.

Thanks for stopping by. May you continue to live the wellness message in your own life.

Thanks to Steve I checked another item on my “bucket list” this weekend.  The call came at 9am and by 11am we were taking off from the JeffCo Airport in Steve’s custom aerobatic plane. 

The plane itself is an impressive story.  Steve put it together in his garage over the course of seven years. He even had photo albums on his iPhone showing the wings being glued together with a make shift clamp in his garage.  He didn’t show these to me until after the flight. : )  But seriously, the plane is quite impressive. He has won a number of “best of” awards for his efforts. 

The sun was out and clouds dotted the blue sky as we took off  and buzzed by the famous Flatiron rock formation which create the back drop of Boulder, Colorado. (Check out some of the pics above. You can click on them for a larger image.)  With the Flatirons next to us and Denver behind us we then made our way to Long’s Peak. It looked like Everest as snow was blowing off the peak and clouds engulfed the lower valleys. After circling by the famous Colorado 14er Steve let me take control of the plane!  I headed over to Evergreen, Colorado and I was able to snap a few pictures of my home from above.  It was amazing seeing the “lay of the land” from that perspective.  In fact, I don’t think I’ll ever look at the Front Range area the same.

Next Steve took the plane back over the plains and while passing across the Rocky Flats introduced me to stunt flying.  First we did a slow roll followed by a hammerhead manuver.  These terms were new to me.  The hammerhead involves accelerating the plane into a straight vertical toward the sky and then after the speed slows dipping straight back down into a dive toward the ground.   We were hitting about 6 Gs with this manuver.  Next we did a forward loop and then Steve started showing me some of the plane’s true grit.  We went into a double roll that took less than 2 seconds.  My body had never experience anything like that.  To be going level with the horizon and then suddenly whip around twice in less than 2 seconds!  I think my favorite manuver was the tailslide.  Steve did this one twice.  Here’s how it played out.  The plane is accelerated to a straight vertical (just like a hammerhead)  On the way up we did a number of roles.  Then Steve idles the engine so the plane completely losses mometum until it simply stops climbing and drops backward toward the ground.  There was a moment of weightlessness were I was looking straight towards the heavens,  (I remember seeing a commercial airplane up above us one time) and then the plane slowly starts to fall back towards the ground.  As it falls from the sky the plane will either flip forward or backward.  As soon as it flipped Steve kicked in the thrust and we did a dive straight toward Hwy 96 before pulling up and out.  We then cruised above Highway 36 before a smooth landing back at the airport. 

What an incredible experience! Thanks, Steve!

A friend recently turned me onto the website Pandora.com.  If you ever find yourself streaming music on your computer you may want to check it out.

What makes Pandora.com unique is once you register (for free)  you simply type in an artist’s name and the player will play that artist and similar artists names.  For example since I picked up the guitar again, I’m on a Johnny Cash kick. I typed in his name and the player started playing Johnny’s songs along with songs by Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, and even a few of Joaquin’s covers from Walk the Line.

Depending on your mood you control the type of music played.  Its a customized radio station that you control. Plus if you have a favorite artist it may introduce you to similar artists who you’ll also enjoy.

Give it a shot and let me know what you think. 

Thanks,

Jason
