Moving Along

I once lived in Lake Tahoe, on the state border of Nevada and California. It was truly beautiful. My backyard was mountains and hiking trails that lead to the lake (Lake Tahoe.) I remember riding bikes along the trails and jumping in the cool refreshing lake, I remember the cattails that my sister and I used to whack on the tree stumps in attempt to get the fuzz to fly everywhere. Up north really is as beautiful and interesting and as fun as people make it seem. When I first moved to F.L., it was a little difficult to adapt to all the changes.  The scenery the weather, the people. I often thought about moving up north again when I was of age.


Now I have really come to terms with F.L. and started appreciating her for what she was/is worth. Relaxing hot summer days, the smell of salt in the air when your near the ocean, the gentle cooing and cawing of the water birds. There is so much to love! 


Humans are creatures of adaption, that is our strong point. There is no other species that can adapt as fast as us. And, I have really come to love that about ourselves. I no longer dream of leaving F.L.. However I do still love the mountains and everything they offer. I do wish I could have it all. In fact one day when I win the lottery I will buy a house up north and here in the south,... maybe even some houses in other countries! I love the earth, i love different climates and atmosphere's and cultures. The world has so much to offer us, I wish I could take it all. I have such a deep hunger for it. Such a longing to see all I can see. 

But for now,... I am content where I am at! I love my life, I love the beach. The feel of the sun beating against your skin, the bare clean sky lines of the beaches with tall city buildings dabbled here and there. I really could not be displeased with what I have been given. Moving has been an overall wonderful experience! I have learned so much I might not have learned had I stayed in the same place my entire life. :)
