Asked by a friend today if I miss the city I replied "When I do I come to the OFH." It's a blessing to have both city and country in my life. She has unpleasant memories of growing up in a small South Dakota town. I remarked that it's a very different experience to be an old person in a little town. Also small towns are not as ingrown and provincial as they once were.
It reminds me of how fortunate I am to have the options of both city and town. One of the privileges of adulthood is being able to vote with our bodies. If it's not life giving I just absent myself/ Then, too, I am blessed with family and friends.
Takk for alt,
Al
