Atrophy

I knew that I needed to start blogging again, but when I sat down to the computer, nothing came to mind.

Atrophy.

I am losing my ability to write things that are on my mind because that skill is not put to frequent use. So to try to regain a little momentum, I will start simple. Yes, if it takes a Top 10 List to get me going, I'll do it!

Here goes:

Top Ten- Things I Love About Utah, My Old-New Home!

1. closeness to family
2. the mountains: this needs no explanation
3. the double-wide traffic lanes and minimal one-way roads
4. the weekly circulars are not stolen off of one's lawn for the valuable coupons inside (which was kind-of surprising to me. I guess there is a moral line that Extreme Couponers don't cross here, unlike their Eastern counterparts.)
5. all the Utah Originals: Cafe Rio, Lehi Roller Mills, Stephen's, Wingers, Mandarin (ahhh, the salmon!...) and of course, fry sauce. Oh, and not to mention the proximity to Bear Lake raspberry shakes and Green River watermelons.
6. ksl.com's classified section
7. the low cost of living, yet the sufficient economy
8. bulk packaging at the grocery store
9. Deseret Industries!
10. the dry heat of summer... oh, how we missed you in Philly.

So, there you go. Momentum.
