I am very thankful of the freedom to choose where to live , where to work , what to learn . I am specially thankful that I have not set any boundaries to myself by forgetting that I have this freedom ! Happy thanksgiving ! <| sep |> Absolutely . I ' m not from CO and have never lived there , but I ' ve passed thru a few times . My Swiss husband calls it the Switzerland of the United States because of the same passion forobsession with getting out and DOING things it has , particularly in good weather in the mountains . Switzerland isn ' t always that sunny , but as soon as there ' s a nice day especially if it ' s the first in a series of gray or rainy days the trains are practically standingroomonly , because it feels like everyone heads for the hills to soak up the sun and stretch their legs ! And the sense I get from Colorado is similar of course you ' re going to spend time moving around outside what else would you do ? Given how little time I ' ve spent there , maybe I just need repeat exposure to eventually be proven wrong , but so far that ' s the feeling I get ! Come to think of it , it ' s pretty remarkable that so much of one state has managed to create and maintain that type of outdoorsy culture .
