Nostalgia
This morning, I woke up to snow falling. I love snow. I mean, the actual act of it. I love to watch snow fall. I love to stand outside in it and listen to it. There's a really cool deafening silence when it snows. It almost forces you to pay attention to what's around you. As the flakes got bigger and fatter, I started thinking about home. I don't sit and mope about being away from home, believe me, but today just made me really nostalgic for everything that is great about Colorado. I love love love being outside and Colorado is the place to be for that. I started thinking about the things I've done and enjoyed, insignificant on a day-to-day basis but make me smile when I think about them. Here are some of my better ones:
- Living in Breckenridge & working at Copper Mountain (a ton of good memories here)
- Riding the Summit Stage home from work, walking back to my house in the cold and quiet
- Leaving Copper after all the skiers had gone home...spinning donuts in the huge empty skier parking lot
- My little house in Breckenridge...emphasis on "little" but it was cozy and home to me and Fin
- Flying west out of Denver puts you right over Breckenridge and Copper Mountain...amazing view
- Taking Finley swimming...how excited she would get if I took her life jacket out...that meant river swimmin'!
- Going up to Cottonwood and Ptarmigan Lake...the epitome of beautiful wilderness
- Riding up the chairlift in a snow storm; you're buried in your jacket, can barely see a foot in front of you but it's so peaceful...if the wind isn't blowing it's usual 30mph!
- Seeing the deer walk through my parents property
- Driving west on I-70, around Genessee, and going through the underpass with The View...if you're from Colorado, you know which one I mean.
