Today I want to tell you about one of the things that makes an Amazing Life. This last weekend my wife and I went on a four day trip to Pagosa Springs Co. We were celebrating our 28th year of marriage. We had a simply wonderful time. This time was not without setbacks or problems that is not what made it amazing. In fact there was a fairly big and costly problem. We did not let that taint the trip. We spent as little time as possible on it. Handling it but not focusing on it. During our trip we spent much of our time together We listened to books that we like and podcasts and talked about things we want. And the majority of it without phones. I uploaded some Pictures on the facebook group for anyone who wants to see the things we did.
The first day we went to Chimney Rock National Park, This is an archaeological site located at the southern edge of the San Juan Mountains, This site tells about the ancestral Puebloans of the Chaco Canyon. These people had amazing lives over 1,000 years ago. They fought with neighbors the Fremont tribe of southern Utah, they have found bodies with spear heads. They eventually moved away from the place that they loved and destroyed their homes. Never to move back. They had faced Long cold winters living at 7,000 Ft. They faced hunger and danger. They had lost loved ones to disease and war. Do you think any of them found it hard to get out of bed in the morning? I’m betting they did. I’m betting they faced similar emotions to those that we face today.
Other things Pagosa Springs offers are miniature golf, frisbee golf, lots of beautiful walks. Then the claim to fame is the hot springs that they are named for. The smell of sulfur is noticeable in the air at times and places. There are these pools of hot water along the river that differ in temp. They are so amazing to set in. They refreshed not only my body but my soul. The hot water with all the minerals softened my skin and just made me feel good. As we sat in one pool we started to talk to a guy who was also in the pool. He had come to wash his clothes and clean himself up. He looked like he could have been homeless. We spoke for about a half hour talking about current events, Things like today and all the crazy things happening. We spoke about the presidential race and the looting and rioting. We talked about religion, He asked if we were Members of “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. We told him yes. He talked about the golden records Joseph Smith found were not a record but a vision of the future of people earning golden records for music today. We also talked about the bible he mentioned the members he had met had a good understanding of the bible. We talked about this radio show he had listened to on the Caste system in India
