At what age were you the happiest?

Tina Hodson

“I consider now to be the happiest really because it’s consistent. I’m developing a good work/fun life balance, and have taken my Type A personality down to a C+. I don’t try to control everything because at the end of the day does it really matter? Nope!”

John

King

“Each decade has come with its own gifts. I guess if I were to choose, it would have been my 30s because I moved from Montrose to Durango, which was really a bold thing for me to do. I had never left the area where I grew up. I changed careers, went to college and made all kinds of friends in the process.”

Susan Chandler-Reed

“I’ve been fortunate to have a lifetime of happiness. I turned 70 this year and it’s hard to beat. I am lucky to have good health and a loving husband, children and extended family. I especially love being able to participate in my grandchildren’s lives. It’s wonderful to be free of the demands and stresses of running a business and to have time to enjoy life—to travel, to spend time with close friends and to hike/ski/bike in this beautiful place we call home.”

Joe Reichmann

“The year I turned 25 was one of the happiest. My son was born three weeks after my birthday. I ran my first marathon that year in Philadelphia. I was a First Lieutenant in the Marine Corps Reserve and in great shape, and ran in the very first Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, DC in 1976. I had a fantastic job teaching school. The final stamp on a fantastic year was when Nixon resigned the presidency because I knew he would never get us out of Vietnam. What a year!”
