Or travel. I’ve realized in the last 30 minutes that traveling would help too, I think. lol

Possibly, but boredom is a great motivator for change! Life is too short to let us be bored. Time to move!

I think a large part of my problem is my proximity to where I grew up. I want to get out and figure out my own life, not mold it around my parents’ decisions. From all the comments I’ve gotten about this post, it seems most people who are happy with their surroundings have moved away from where they started. Then again, maybe I’m just bored. lol

I don’t love where I live – to be honest, I find Vancouver overpriced and cliquey, so it’s tough to meet people. The people you do meet tend to be spread out all over the place so my closest friends are all a 40 minute drive away. Considering I grew up on a tiny island with just 30,000 people, this feels really odd to me. I have to learn a little bit to enjoy where I am because I always think moving will solve everything and I think it won’t necessarily, but I am curious about trying out somewhere else. Or going back home, though that feels repetitive. I do love where I’m from though – my island will always feel like home! And it’s warm there all the time

My words of wisdom for the day…… On the east coast, you have to prove yourself, and then you are accepted…, on the west coast, you are accepted and then you prove yourself. When going to the east coast, (especially the bigger cities, i.e. Boston, New York) it is always best if you have the “latest” copy of Emily Post’s Etiquette” book in your pocket. (Do no use the condensed version – they take this very seriously!) unless as you say you wind up in CT or Washington DC , and then of course you would want Amy Vanderbilt – (her version of Etiquette for Military functions and protocol far surpasses Emily Post) I do remember seeing “something” similar to the home you posted above, except I think it was in a more “moutainous” area outside Roseville. (Smile) A place you can always consider a 2nd home!

One always seems lost for awhile, but you have to remember you are where you are for the reason that you are susspose to be there. Or in the words of the great WInston Churchill….. “Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom in not putting it in a fruit salad”. You are a wise woman, and you will make the best choice of where you are to be. As far as me, relocation would not change the person that I really am; it is the wisdom that helps me accept the reasons that I am here.

Always remember, we love you!
