Finding Peace...

The Cabin from the Road

I finished classes the week of Thanksgiving and have had some time on my hands! Honestly, I have enjoyed it.  I love my weekends and time off! I can always find something to do and that I enjoy, rarely do I find myself bored.  The activities are just sitting reading, watching TV, catching up with friends but I will always find something busy. When I heard about my 6 week long break I made a promise to myself to enjoy CO and what it has to offer!  The Peace Corps has made me a lot more content with life and my activities.  I do not always have to be running around like a chicken without a head, I can just be and I am OK with me!

Anyways, last week I went up to a 'Cousin's' family home in the Mountains! Let me tell you, words cannot describe how gorgeous the view is during the Winter! We went for a Hike a little higher up from his cabin and sat down in this open patch of snow! I said "Now, this is the snow I enjoy! Untouched and covering the mountains!" 

It was the most relaxing two days of my life! He had to go to work so I just hung out in the cabin, drinking endless glasses of tea, reading hundreds of pages of my book, taking walks, and you cannot forget about taking a nap! It was just amazing and refreshing to just Be! The air was so fresh, life seemed to stop, and I had no agenda for the day! Besides the weather it reminded me of Sundays in Dominica which are my fav! I spent those two days laying on comfy couches, lost in my thoughts, and recharging my batteries! I am extremely fortunate and grateful for my Denver Family and these moments that they have given me!


I look forward to the next time I can head up to the Mountains and maybe going Skiing! Before that I must head back to MI to see my lovies....
