One of the things I enjoyed about Utah was watching the sun rise from behind the mountains. In fact, in my gratitude journal I thanked God for the colors pink and purple! It had been awhile since I’d done that! I’m sure people who see the mountains everyday get used to them. Psychologists call it inattentional blindness. And I guess I get used to seeing the Capitol just about everyday. But I got up before sunrise most mornings on our trip just to see the sunrise.

Here’s a picture from our hotel on the first morning in Utah. The sun was just beginning to peek over the peak.
