We have more snow up in the mountains than this picture shows, but as we know I try to stay away from the snow. Because it’s COLD. What is a beach girl doing living in the Rocky Mountain foothills? I ask myself that question every day. That said, once again, I’m going to try to embrace winter. When I am better, MKL and I will be trying ice skating, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing. Maybe I should say if I get better… now if you’ll excuse me, I have to find that lung I just coughed up.

Quote of the day: “The first step to change,… is accepting your reality right now. Honoring your process. Compassionate self-awareness leads to change; harsh self-criticism only holds the pattern in place, creating a stubborn and defensive Basic Self. Be gentle with yourself as you would with a child. Be gentle but firm. Give yourself the space to grow.” — Dan Milliman

Beach girl hu… where are you from?! I’m from California and my husband and I are relocating to Colorado in March. What took you to Colorado?

I’m from North Carolina. And I’ve been out here about 28 years longer than I intended when I came out west with a friend who was driving out to see the Grateful Dead…
Where are you moving to in Colorado?

Did you drive out and stay!??
We want to move to Fort Collins but right now we’re finding more affordable apartments in Denver. I’m praying that the closer it gets to March the more availabilities in our price range will become available. But when we buy a home we want to live in or around Fort Collins.

I did drive out and stay! Fort Collins is nice. I live outside of Boulder, and I work in Denver…

That’s awesome!!! We were so sad to leave! We wanted to just stay but we couldn’t 😦 How do you like the commute?

It’s long and I’d prefer it if it were non-existant, but public transportation makes it pretty non-stressful, and I do like my job. So I’d call that a win!

Love the rockies! Feel better soon! The only thing to help get a sun lover through winter is outdoor sports!

Cold is not so bad once you get used to it. I am sure a North Carolina girl can adapt. I love Florida and the sound of the ocean, but Kentucky is always on my mind.

We are nothing if not adaptive, right, Tim?
