Why do you live where you live?
Submitted by memtony.

As cities go, this is the one I love; I met my partner here, we both have great jobs, but are starting to get itchy feet - so we are looking for a change in the coming year. I could do with a smaller city or town, I'm ready to slow it down a little, smell the flowers I want to grow in a bigger garden, and ease up on the hustle, noise and crowds. I'm a simple homebody at heart, love connecting with friends and family, and need to be closer to an ocean (salt water preferred but I'll take any) to be in real peace. I came here twenty plus years ago because there was a great full time job and some good friends, and I was ready to take it on. Now I am ready to slip out the side door into something quieter, simplify and start doing more of what I want with the people I want, including a big beautiful family I miss terribly. This has been the hometown I never grew up with and it will always have a tender place in my heart.

What do you enjoy most about summer?

Barefootin' ......and not caring too much about productivity. There is an order of the day, every day, and that is reading the paper cover to cover, unhurried, preferably outside on the patio. If I manage to do that, my chakras and karma are all good, and I can face anything else the world has to offer. It's a contemplative practice, I often go through the motions - it's not so much about what I absorb as it is what I am exposed to. I'm a visual learner and reading is my best thing.
