This one will be short. If I could live anywhere, I would live right where I'm living. On an acreage. Perfect distance to town. No traffic down our road. It's pretty near perfect. Ok...it would be a LITTLE more perfect if it didn't have such hard water. But we have a reverse osmosis system which means we don't have to haul our excellent-tasting drinking water and we have a great well full of water which means we don't have to haul ANY water.
Why? Well, I love living here because we have privacy. It's not every day that we see vehicles going by. I love living here because it's beautiful! We have a treed yard. We're surrounded by pastures. We're about a mile (maybe less?) from a gorgeous lake which we drive by every time we go to town. I love living here because we are remote enough to not see any lights at night within at least half a mile of our yard, yet are only a 13 minute drive from town. I love living here because we have freedom to do what we want with the yard, without any neighbours watching or talking over the fence. I loved my neighbours in town, but it's nice to just be able to go out and not think about who might see me
If I could live anywhere, I would live right here.

I love where we live, too. Sometimes. Sometimes(most of the winter) I wish I could transfer our yard, friends and family to a warmer climate! With softer water and less alkaline soil. But when I watch the news or think on the way so many people have to live their lives, I am very thankful indeed. Perspective! And I would never want to live anywhere but a farm. :) Your contentdedness is a very good way to be. - Katie
