I am a
Colorado girl.
Born and
raised. Those of you who are in the state right now are also sitting through Snowpocalypse
2013. We’ve gotten about ten inches today. The roads are awful. The stores are
closed. Everything is covered in a large amount of the white stuff. I’ll probably have so snowshoe into work tomorrow.
It’s that bad.
But this is
just another winter here in Colorado. Yesterday it was fifty four degrees and
people were wearing shorts and eating ice cream and enjoying the sun. Today it’s
about five below and dumping powder. No
one in their right mind is outside. If you’re from Colorado, you know
better than to try and drive in this mess. You also know that if you must
drive, there is a proper way to drive in weather like this that won’t leave
your car wrapped around a telephone pole.
Colorado is a
great state. It is my home. I don’t know if I will always live here, but my
heart will always belong here. The
mountains, the desert, even the city all own a little part of my soul. I am
Colorado born and proud of it.
Just call me
a Colorado Girl.
Challenge to
my Readers:
Be proud of
your home state, even if you hate it. Where you live and where you are from is
part of who you are. At the same time, feel good about the places you move to. Mingle
with the locals and expand your horizons.
I had to walk to work in this... >_>
