A Little Change of Scenery

Hello, bloggers! I’m currently enjoying a needed week off in Utah. It’s my first time out here, too. I’m from L.A., and the only time I’ve ever seen snow was a few years back when my family and I were driving to northern California. Those snowball fights we had at the gas station were a lot of fun. Now my boyfriend and I are out here visiting his sister. Normally, I don’t do well in the cold. Any temperature under 70 degrees back home drives me crazy. Here in Draper, however, it’s around 54 degrees, yet I feel fine. This picture is from our quick walk around the area where we’re staying. It’s amazing. I’ve never seen mountains up close. The air was cold, but we were loving the scenery.

Before coming out here, I also promised that I would use this opportunity to write more, like a writing retreat, since I’ve been struggling to jot anything down without distractions. Perhaps this is what I needed: a little change of scenery. My writing this blog post is a start, so I’m happy with it. No pressure to write so many words. No timing my writing sprints. Just small steps.

Anyone here from Utah? Feel free to post your comments.

*This picture is a start to my little writing retreat. I get a nice view of the backyard.
