The warm sands and clear blue water soothed my soul and cleared my mind. Why did I want to leave this beautiful place and go back to the cold of Colorado?
Change is always good and I did not want to take things for granted. Last year I made two trips home during the winter and found out I really enjoyed it so once again off I went to trade in the swimsuit for the down jacket, mittens and wool stocking hats, along with the snow, skis, and good friends of home.
Colorado did not disappoint. Nine days of Cross country skiing, 2 days of down hill skiing and one evening of skinning up the mountain for dinner and enjoying the full moon. That was an amazing experience. Reconnecting with Colorado friends including a friend from high school, meeting new friends, and spending time with those I care about and Emi the Bernese Mountain dog made for an exceptional break from Mile High Dream.
I left her in good hands getting polished and cleaned while I was away and now I am at the airport on my way back to St. Lucia.
It is good to mix things up.
