The Adventures Of A Incurable Optimist !

// May 8th, 2009 // Comments Off // Big JimmyK's Blog

I watched this special with Michael J. Fox last night and I was taken back by what an impact in had on me. At a time like this in our nation where it is very easy to let our minds slip into some serious stinking thinking this show was an uplifting experience. Here is a man that has a progressive debilitating disease airing a special to lift Americas spirits and help us to see the good in everything we do. The optimist, he showed the optimistic people from our country as well as some overseas. We need more of this type of programming, this is stuff we are all made of if we aren’t led down the path of over looking the good that is out there. Everyday is a wonderful day and we can find good every where if we just look past the stuff that the news media is convinced makes good programming. I was also very impressed with the number of americans that volunteer their time to help fellow man. We are a nation with many people who will lend a hand to a neighbor or give their time to help people in need. I once heard that if we all just did one thing good for mankind per day we could change the whole planet. One good deed per day is not hard we just need to be aware. Have a great day America!

Oh How I Love Summer!

As we approach the beginning of what we hope to be a very busy summer, I can’t help but get excited. Summer in Montana is never taken for granted, with it being very short in comparison to most places we enjoy every single day. The tough part if there is one is trying to squeeze all of the events and activities into a short period. Concerts, motorcycle rallies, family gatherings, vacations wow it is just a blur and time passes very fast. Montana and especially Red Lodge is a beautiful summer destination, medium temperatures, mountains, water, trees, camping I can’t think a place I would rather be in the summer. As a Montana native I feel very lucky but as I get older I will admit a winter get away is in order. This year we hope to be able to spend some of our winter in a little warmer climate, good for the soul and the bones however I won’t be gone long before I start to hear the call of my great home state and all it has to offer. We hope as you ponder about a destination you would like to travel to that you keep us in mind, we would love to share our little bit of heaven with you and I know it will become a regular stop if you give a try. Enjoy your summer and we hope to see you!

Conversation about life!

I just love talking to people about life itself, how it is and how it used to be! I have found over the years that listening is a very cool thing.

It always amazes me at what a person can learn from just listening, I spent a whole day doing that not to long ago and I felt  like I had spent a month in school. My favorite thing to do is to go to what I call OBC or old bastards coffee in the morning at the local IGA grocery store and listen to my elders tell me how it was and now how it is. We have made huge leaps in technology in the past few years it’s almost to much to grasp but damn interesting none the less. We are learning a ton about our government just listening and the new transparency policy has been very educational for me as I am sure you as well. It’s not always what we want to hear but it dang sure enlightens a person and I think thats great. The more educated we are on what is very important to us and our families can’t be a bad thing. Right?
