It seems like this year is off to a slow start and it’s hard not to feel bad about myself for it. I know we all have to deal with self-doubt and that making small, long-lasting lifestyle changes can take a ton of time. But it hasn’t made it any easier to get through this slump I’ve been in.
Since I was feeling down, we decided to go to the Ice Castles in Midway last week. I’ve been wanting to go for a few years, so I’m glad we finally took the time to do it. It was so refreshing to get out of the house and take my mind off things for a little while. When you’re busy enjoying life, it’s a lot harder to think about all the ways you aren’t living up to your expectations.
We had so much fun exploring the Ice Castles and appreciating their beauty. There’s some tunnels you can walk through and a few slides you can go down. The weather was nice and it didn’t start freezing until the evening. We ended up getting some hot chocolate and churros to hold us over until it got dark enough to see the lights. I’m glad we decided to stay because it’s pretty amazing at night too!
The best part about the whole trip was just getting to spend quality time together since we both work a lot during the week. We don’t normally do that much after we get home from work either, except relax and have dinner.
It also put me in a good mood for the rest of the week. It was easier to get through work each day and I was able to spend more time at home working on my personal projects. We definitely need to go on more adventures and explore everything Utah has to offer!
