Feeling down? Don’t take a pill. Consider buying a home in Boulder and a move to Boulder, Colorado.
A massive new study of Americans’ attitudes concludes that the city at the foot of the Rocky Mountains is home to the happiest, healthiest people in the United States. At the bottom of 162 large and medium-sized cities: Huntington, W.Va.
Is it any wonder we are the happiest, healthiest people in the U.S.? Attitude is everything and when you are healthy a great attitude comes easier. Get happy, notice the good, appreciate even the smallest gift from the universe,get healthy, live in Boulder, Colorado.
CHECK THE INDEX: How does your city rank?
STATES: See how yours rates
Most cities in the west scored higher while more cities in the south scored lower.
Boulder’s setting, including a greenbelt of public lands around the city, may help explain its top ranking. Mayor Susan Osborne says. “We tend to have lots of opportunities for being outside,” she says. The jobless rate is 5.7%, below the nation’s 9.7%. Also the 300+ days of sunshine doesn’t hurt. Do we ever have opportunities for being outdoors! Hiking, snow shoeing, skiing, climbing, cycling, mt. biking, or my friend Mr. Gusts’ favorite pastime building igloos up in Rocky Mt. National Park, running, walking, bouldering and ice climbing. Even indoors is great and boot camps with Mr. Meier, Trans Muay Thai Kickboxing which is what I love, to name but just a few. Get in shape. Be the best you you can be. We love Boulder. It is upbeat, cutting edge, new feeling, new ideas and answers to old questions, the best city to love in, live in, play in and where all the children are above average.
