RE: “Hold On Loosely, But Don’t Let Go!”😇 My Actifit Report Card: January 30 2026

Very sunny, very comfortable, I do miss the western side of the Colorado Rockies!😎

Sort:  

It sounds wonderful! What made you leave the area? 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Three kids.....🥰
We had a beautiful home paid off, we were doing well, but it's similar to living in Hawaii.... it's very expensive, and the future prospects for our kids finding good jobs in the future were not the best...........
Our two boys are married to beautiful ladies now, and have good jobs. Our youngest has a baby girl six months old, none of this would've been the same living in an extremely expensive tourist town!🙄

Ah, yes, I understand, my friend, and as you said, having children changes one's priorities! That's excellent to hear about your sons, Mike, that they're all doing so well! Yeah, tourist towns definitely have insane prices for sure! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

It is definitely a tourist town...... with the ski resort crested Butte 35 miles to the north, and Gunnison Colorado to the south where everyone that worked for the wealthy would live!😇

Well, I'm sure it's a wonderful place to visit, but living there is a whole different matter entirely! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

So very true my friend..... tourist don't see what goes on behind the scenes!🙄
You can't use this terminology anymore........... but the locals in Gunnison had a saying, they called the tourist "terrorist" they would come in, spend their money, sometimes wreck havoc with the town, and then leave!😳

Very much so, my friend, they only see the pretty surface! Yes, sadly I've seen that exact behavior in other places, which is one reason I never wanted to be seen as a tourist in any place that I visited. I like to get to know places more deeply. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Living in a tourist town you definitely see things for a different perspective……
Nowadays, if we go anywhere, I make sure we blend in!😇
