W e are fortunate to
live in the most
beautiful state
in the United
States. I am sure that there
are those who would debate the
issue with me, but I am certain
of this and one of the reasons I
am proud to call Colorado home.
It is vacation season; we are
planning time away; traveling to
another state, perhaps another
country or continent. Hmmm,
I need to rethink our vacation
plans.
I spend approximately 50-60
hours a week inside at my desk
or at my job. I sleep 45-50
hours a week and inside my
home doing domestic chores,
watching television, etc. another
20-30 hours a week. That
leaves me 28 hours to do ‘out-
side’ things from car mainte-
nance, shopping, visiting some-
one else’s house, going to the
movies, out to dinner; you get
the idea. My week has flown
by. I did enjoy the sunset from
my deck a couple of nights this
week.
I just got up from my desk
to walk next door to visit a col-
league. I had to go outside and
I want to tell you it is great out-
doors!
Through Presidential
Proclamation, June is Great
Outdoors Month! All 50
Governors are encouraged to
issue similar proclamations
to reflect the
attention
being given to
the economic
importance of
recreation and
the special role
of the Great
Outdoors in re-
establishing the
United States
as a major
destination
for international visitors. Our
health community also stresses
the importance of spending
active time in the great out-
doors; better health, better edu-
cation and support for conserva-
tion. This is a win win scenario!
Our environment is our
inheritance. An inheritance
that we continue to bequeath to
the next generation, more than
an inheritance it is our legacy.
And, like anything where we
spend committed time our
appreciation and awareness
grows. We come to understand
that it is not OK to liter, we pick
up our messes. That water is a
resource and we have a respon-
sibility to keep it clean and not
waste it. Trees are magnificent
whether hundreds of years old
or a new sapling, take care.
State and national parks, trails,
campgrounds and green belts
are dedicated natural habitat;
respect and learn from other
living creatures with which we
share our space.
Moms and Dads all across
America are telling their vaca-
tioning school children to go
outside and play. This will be
met with slumped shoulders,
looks of disbelief and replies
that go something like, “there
is nothing to do outside.” Not
unlike many adult reactions.
So, you need to know that just
being outside stimulates creativ-
ity and develops social skills.
There are a lot of reasons to
get outside: spurs weight loss,
makes exercise easier, improves
vision, increases vitamin D
intake and brain function, great
for stress reduction, helps us
age gracefully and just makes
us happier folks. What could
we all do with less weight, more
energy, better concentration and
more creativity, better sleep and
fewer aches and pains?
Enjoy Colorado air this sum-
mer, there are so many places to
go and things to do. The Great
Outdoors is calling, play golf
with ASAC on Friday, July 17,
2015 at Red Hawk Ridge Golf
Course. I’m having a picnic
with my grandson under the
tree in my backyard tomorrow
afternoon. My husband is seal-
ing the driveway tonight and
I’m going to sit on the porch,
outside, and watch him. There
is a lot to do outside, get out
there and enjoy!
