Been an interesting week to say the least...had to take a trip to Los Angeles after being away for 6 months..living in a smaller community, gorgeous area.. and a much calmer pace...I did not realize how much of an impact there is on my life..who I am.. I have to say... when I landed I had a bit of an anxiety attack.. and I chalked that up to just being overwhelmed with what was in store for me.. and my fear of how things could go.. I have to say... I am so thankful I flew into Burbank.. and not LAX... when I stepped outside.. it was overcast and gray.. ya.. use to that.. and it did end up raining that day.. but I had to laugh at the driving.. I rented a car..now keep in mind I lived here for 20 years.. and forgot how aggressive one MUST be here.. and I realize that when you are that aggressive...even in driving.. you must be that in your life as well.. there is no kindness.. its rare to find here.. its all about me.. and after me then you first.. its an attitude.. and then I have to ask myself.. was I like that? yes I was more aggressive with driving.. first time back on the fwy I had to tell myself.. stop being so nice.. they won't let you in just cuz you have your blinker on.. just TAKE IT.. cuz ya.. they see your signal on and they race to get in front of you.. where I live now.. they slow down... they wave you on.. and in.. they smile and wave.. here.. ya.. they may smile.. but its while they are waving the finger at ya.. LOL.. no really.. was I blind to this attitude.. do we just get sucked in to our environment..does our enviro control us and our attitudes that much... and at what point do we lose our sensibility..the other thing I noticed is how rude most peeps are..but I guess that goes hand in hand with the attitude..
I know in my small town.. which I absolutely love btw.. it has helped me become who I am today... a much calmer.. peaceful.. dare I say content soul...
I truly love where I live.. and am so looking forward to getting back... snow and all!!
