Turning my negative into a positive...

In keeping with my New Year resolution...I've deleted the post about the neighborhood drama and decided to put a positive spin on it...

These are the things I love most about Government Street Highlands...spacious lots, mature tress, beautiful spring flowers, winter camellias, birds, squirrels, and occasional wild critter.  I love that the yard I toddled and played in is the same one that my kids now romp around in.  I love that there are some neighbors still living in which watched me grow & mature and are now able to watch my kids grow & mature...and I love that they've gone from my neighbors in my youth to my friends in my adulthood.  These are just a few of what I love about where I live...and these deeply rooted very attached emotions are the things that keep me fighting tooth and nail for this neighborhood, my home, my children's home and for the homes of my friends! 

I don't really know if I'll ever move, I'd like to think that I might...it's not from the lack of desire...I do want something different...sometimes...then there are moments, like today's reflection that make me feel all mushy inside and somewhat teary eyed and I just know...this isn't just some neighborhood or any 'ol house...this is home!
