ahhh, Colorado

I love this place. I don't really even understand why. I would have always described myself as a "country girl" at heart. I love nothing more than the beauty of land ~ rolling acres of green grassy land. I dream of owning land one day, just like I grew up on. With that part of me still completely alive, I lie in my bed here in the heart of Denver and realize I have fallen in love with this city. I love the sounds of the city coming through my open window throughout the night. I adore the beautiful lights, the fascinating neighborhoods and streets, the tiny shops nestled away, and the busiest downtown district. I love the view of the mountains as you walk down the sidewalk or drive to an appointment. And the sunshine ~ they aren't kidding about the amazing sunshine. It's hard to explain how different, how wonderful the weather is... daily.

As hard as what I'm about to face here might be, this setting is a true gift that will make each day a bit easier.
