The Royal Gorge The Gondola The Climb and The Gratitude

Send us Fan MailThe wind is so strong the flags turn into a speedometer, and the Royal Gorge Bridge starts to feel alive under our feet. We’re out in Colorado with my wife Brenda for her birthday, trying to soak up the canyon views even while the bridge shakes and the gusts keep changing the plan. Then a truck rolls across the span and the whole moment becomes equal parts awe and “okay, that is wild.”We use the trip to talk about something simple that most of us forget: you don’t have to wait all year for a one week vacation to feel fully alive. Day trips, quick overnights, and little local adventures can do real work for your mindset, your marriage, and your family. We also share a faith-forward perspective on gratitude and enjoying the good God put around us, even when the wider world feels less beautiful.There’s an accessibility angle too. As a blind traveler, I guide you through a short listening pause so you can experience the soundscape of the outdoors: birds, running water, wind, and even faint music. We hike toward the gondola and zip line, only to find the gondola closed because of the wind, and that becomes the lesson. Sometimes the goal slips away, and the climb still matters. If you’ve ever had plans derailed, needed help, or had to reframe “success,” you’ll feel this one.If it resonates, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs a nudge to take the trip, and leave a review with your favorite sound from the episode.https://www.instagram.com/davidgallegos_doingitblind?igsh=MTF3NDR5c252cjQ4Mg%3D%3D&utm_source=qr https://www.facebook.com/share/16JfZE9N5k/?mibextid=wwXIfr
