What's the best thing about where you live?

Where does one start.  I live in small bayside community in British Columbia that is filled with the most amazing people.  This time of year the small city is filled with tourists enjoying the beach, fish and chips and fabulous ice cream.  Today I had the opportunity to look into the faces of people I had never seen before and ask the question, "why did you come here to earth...what is your mission?"  Perhaps odd for some but to my fellow Gaians, a normal question no doubt.

The little cottage I rent hasn't a straight corner or level floor in it and yet I love it.  I love the life memories in the almost hundred year old plaster and the way it feels warm in the winter and cool in the summer.  I love the yard with the vegetables and flowers growing in the same yard that my little American Cocker Spaniel runs in and plays with the big soccer ball.  I love the neighbors that are so supportive in everything I undertake to do, like the garden I planted for the first time this year.  The sound of the lady next doors laughter as she plays with her son is beautiful music and the way her husband carries him on his shouldars is a sight to see.  I love the fact that I go to work everyday in a place where people can stop and talk about what I do on my day off.

What's the best thing about where I live?  I am here and I am alive and grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this wonderful place.  That is the absolute best thing about where I live.
