Live Like The Frenchy!
Live Like The Frenchy!
Jacques Houot is an 82 year old transplant from France, living the adventure life dream in Carbondale, Co. "The Frenchy" is an incredibly active man, not just for his age, but for anyone at any age. He downhill mountain bikes, he skis, he hikes, he exercises, he does anything that he considers a challenge.
But he wasn’t always this active, not even close.
Living The Adventure Life
Living The Adventure Life
Getting Out There
Nature is a wondrous thing and getting out in it is what we were hard-wired for many eons ago. Experiencing the colors, textures and scents elicit feelings and emotions in us that are in-explainable, unless we realize that they have a meaning that goes beyond just beauty. For our distant ancestors living on the Savanna, the color green meant life, as well as the color of flowers, and even more so, the sound of running water.
There was a time when living the adventure life was just known as living, but it was a way of life that we learned to exploit and master. And while we may have evolved beyond the point of relying on nature for our mere subsistence, and although we have exerted a great deal of control over it, nature still has the power to affect us in profound ways. All we have to do is let it.
While the adventure life is out there waiting for us, it's the adventurer within us that has to take that first step. By taking a long, deep, and honest look inside ourselves, we can figure out what has been holding us back and keeping us from getting out there. That is when we can start becoming that adventurer inside us striving to get out.
