Unsuspecting Hero's

           

“Unsuspecting Hero’s”

The Coronavirus pandemic has been a tragic experience for many of us, but in this time of crisis we can be thankful, as we see citizens helping citizens with amazing acts of kindness.

Kindness that goes far beyond what we ever could have imagined before this terrible disease hit our shores.

It’s been so gratifying to see so many unsuspecting hero’s risking their own lives to help others in need by having tremendous courage in the face of tremendous risk and simply doing their job.

Please join me in thanking a long list of people that make it their top priority to protect us each and every day and make sure we have all the food and services we need to be well and be safe.

THANK YOU GOES OUT TO OUR:

Health Care Workers, First Responders, Police, Firefighters, National Guard, Food Bank Volunteers, Grocery Store Clerks and Produce Workers, Garbage Collectors, Landscapers and Lawn Care workers, Postal Workers, Restaurant Workers, Farmers, Migrant Workers, Construction Crews, Road Repair Workers, Federal, State, County and City employees.

You are all amazing and the citizens of this country owe you a debt of gratitude.

Thank you for all you do!

Support Your Local Food Banks

It is just as important to do nothing and stay home during this time of the Coronavirus outbreak to protect yourself and others, but for those of you who are in good health without preexisting conditions, you may want to go all in and support your local food banks.

With so many people out of work, the food banks in your community are now your first responders working on the front lines to help feed those in need. Most food banks have seen a 500% increase or more in requests for food in the last few weeks, with more and more requests to come from our nation unemployed and growing each day.

For those of you who have the means and are looking for ways to help, please support your local food banks by volunteering to sort donated food that will ultimately be sent out to help others or consider donating money to support the urgent need to feed our hungry in our communities.

Random Acts of Kindness

Random Acts of Kindness

Random Acts of Kindness

We all are a bit in shock after last week’s recent events unfolded to better guard against the spread of the Corona Virus. I’m sure there are many people who are angry, disturbed and scared about the changes that have occurred.

Well, not so fast my friend…

Why don’t we all take a step back and use this crisis as an opportunity to spread “Random Acts of Kindness” out to our community instead of a severe case of airborne flu.

There are and will be many people negatively impacted by the illness as well as others impacted by the nationwide cancellations of conventions, sporting events, trade shows, festivals, etc. and now is a good time to act and support those in need.

Instead of looking inward and feeling sorry about your life-style changes, look outward and see if you can do something wonderful to help your community and make a real difference in helping others in need.

There are plenty of food and supplies needed at our local food banks as more people are put out of work from this virus and will need your help.

Also, our teams of First Responders and Health Care professionals would appreciate any support we can give them at this challenging time. There are many other charities that we can actively support to see if they need have any need of our manpower or donations to help them weather the storm.

The work “Crisis” in Greek means opportunity and now is a great time to step up and make a difference with “Random Acts of Kindness”

                           3 Day Snowmobile Mobile Tour


If you’re in the mood for a change of pace for your next travel experience, you may want to take a hard look at going on a snowmobile trip along the Continental Divide and the great outdoors of Wyoming with Old Faithful Tours.


Owner, Jon Toolson and his dad Tom will take you on an amazing adventure of a lifetime.  Ten of us departed from Jackson Hole in a private group. We took the 3 day snowmobiling trip option, which offers a world class guided tour around the greater Yellowstone area and Wyoming mountains.  Each of us had our own snowmobile and drove along groomed paths that are created each day by the forest service.  We also took some wild turns along some off beaten paths to experience fresh powder.


Included, are 2 nights in very comfortable lodges that had cozy fireplaces and all the comforts of home. In addition, we experienced some very fun and relaxing bars, where we had a few drinks before dinner after a fun day of exploring the wide-open terrain.


Also, included in the price was a culinary feast, as each day we had delicious breakfast, lunches and dinners at restaurants that are located along our route. 


Old Faithful Tours offers several other trip options.  Their snowmobile trip through Yellowstone is their most popular tour.


If you want a change a pace, you may want to give it a try and put it on your bucket list for your upcoming travels.

Younger At 65

Younger At 65


                                                                          Younger at 65



I just visited my doctor last week to review my blood test results and I was delighted to hear him tell that my test results were “The best results he has seen for a 65 year old in the 90 days”. He told me that whatever I was doing was showing amazing results and I should keep doing what I am doing.

The doctor was very complementary about how good I looked for my age and said, my blood test results were as good as most 30 year old males he has as patients. He then suggested I write a blog to help others who are looking to live healthier lives and working to get into better physical condition.

So here goes…

The first suggestion I would make would be to move and be active each and every day.  I make it a habit to for a run, ride a bike, play tennis or golf, lift weights and stretch as well as swim during the course of the week.  You may have physical limitations that prevent you from doing some of these activities, so maybe a good walk, stretch, swim etc. would suffice, if you want to get the blood flowing. A great book to read on this very topic is “Younger Next Year” which I highly recommend.

I also take several different vitamins, CoQ10, aspirin, a statin and a Probiotic every day to keep my body functioning properly and keep it from wearing down.  My diet consists of daily fasting 2 or 3 times a week followed with a Mediterranean diet.  Daily meditation can be helpful.  I find “The Sedona Method” of meditation to be very practical and rewarding. It’s also easy to maintain on a weekly basis.  The book of the same name is worth a read.

I hope you can use some of these suggestions in your daily schedule to help feel healthy each day and I hope to provide more useful tips in the days and weeks ahead.
