Today it is a tradition to take time away from everyday life and reflect on the things were are grateful for, and one of those things is undoubtedly our home state. Minnesota is an amazing place, and there are so many reasons to love living here, but a few consistently stand out above the rest.
1. The beautiful scenery we get to enjoy year-round.
Even when it's cold, Minnesota is full of spectacular scenery, and nothing can stop true Minnesotans from getting outside and taking it in.
2. Our amazing cities, and the culture they nurture.
The Twin Cities are home to a unique and fantastic culture, rich in the arts and filled with one-of-a-kind businesses.
3. The small towns and countryside of MN are full of character and beauty.
Our small towns are the true heart of Minnesota.
4. Our hilarious, fun, loving, and NICE citizens.
We are incredibly lucky to have a community of amazing people. Minnesotans are family-oriented and yes, when it comes down to it they are nice.
5. We get to experience four beautiful seasons.
Not to mention the fun activities that come with each.
6. Particularly, we get to enjoy some of the best summer activities.
Thanks to our 11,000 plus lakes. These only add to the wonderful scenery.
7. We have access to some of the best medical care in the country.
And we live longer, healthier lives - in part due to this focus on health in our community.
8. We are privileged to have hardworking local farmers and restaurateurs who make the food scene in Minnesota truly unique.
So everything from our local ingredients for home-cooked meals to our restaurant food is delicious and one-of-a-kind.
9. Our community places enormous value on our natural resources, and appreciates them.
We work hard to preserve our precious land.
10. The business community in MN is supportive and large.
We have so many jobs, and so many fantastic companies in our own backyard.
11. We have some of the best traditions.
From the State Fair to the Winter Carnival, Minnesotans never run out of spirit.
Whatever your favorite reasons may be, I hope you can take some time today to appreciate the beauty of Minnesota, and how fortunate we are to be living in such a wonderful community.
