My attachment to places

So it is definatly time for me to write again. I didn't last week because I was out of town. (I realize that this is the lamest excuse ever, since we live in a technogical world where you can access anything from anywhere.) However, my parents computer would not let me log on.

So, I was in Manitoba last week. It was nice. Manitoba has a distinct feeling of home to me which is why I love Manitoba. However, when I flew into Halifax, I was overwhelmed by how beautiful it was. It is so beautiful that it just make's you want to stay here. I generally get attached to places I spend considerable time in. This is begining to really get me in trouble. I love Manitaba, because it feels like home and I love my friends & family. I love Victoria & Vancouver because they are so beautiful and warm. I'm inclined to agree with a friend of mine who say's BC is Canada's promise land. And I generally resent all people living there because while it is -10 here it is +10 there. This is just unfair. And I love Nova Scotia because it is so laid back, so full of character and beautiful. Then there is Mexico and Texas. I love the desert. It's lovely and hot, it's wild and there is a distinct pleasure in living in a desert when I have spent my whole life in lush green places or in snowy wet places. So you see my heart is torn & attached to so many different places. And soon I must make a decision about what to do next year. This is extremly difficult as I want to be in all of these places. And each one of them is special and unique and would be wonderful. I don't know what I will do. But I still have some time before I have to decide. And then there are all the places in the world I have not yet gone. I resolved this year, not to travel anywhere new because then that would just be another place I would want to stay. However, in some secret corner of my heart is a distinct desire to go to Europe.

Anyway, there is a my love of places. I just thought you all should know about them.
