Happiness is a state of mind really. <br /><br />I'm glad you have found happiness. Now rest your road rash body.

Living near wilderness isn't enough. I used to live in Juneau, a modern city absolutely inundated by undeveloped wilderness, but how often did I get out into the true wilderness? Honestly, not much more often than I do now. Free time was limited and I spent most of it on the edges of the city, in these quiet beautiful places that I still loved even if I could see buildings in the distance. <br /><br />The wilderness is still out there, for all of us.Jill Homerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983065990450931943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-39469820968078606052011-04-15T14:01:20.476-06:002011-04-15T14:01:20.476-06:00Here's to all of you staying in those crowded,...Here's to all of you staying in those crowded, sprawling places and leaving the true wilderness to we few.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-31985274060390492372011-04-15T13:29:21.859-06:002011-04-15T13:29:21.859-06:00Nice post!

It's all about happiness within, I am finding. Glad you are liking it there.

I really look forward to our contract regaining some work up there (hopefully when the economy finally picks up some), cuz I miss it. <br /><br />I'd pack up my car with both bikes (mt & road) and my little hotel room would be chock full of my 'travel stuff' (mostly cycling or food related). I'd get off work at 2:30pm every day and with the days chosen aluminum steed already waiting in the car I could use the carpool lanes until 3pm to beat the traffic to that day's destination. Sneak in a 2 or 3 hour ride, eat some kind of dinner and do it all again the next day. Travel life can be simple yet fun! <br /><br />Nice to hear how quickly you've been 'assiimilated'.

Yes, there is sprawl but within minutes one can find herself in the middle of nature sharing it with coyotes and other animals. And then there are endless vistas... this is a good place to live.Ewahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17005438284707424779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-86806087368673094552011-04-15T02:45:15.819-06:002011-04-15T02:45:15.819-06:00Hello, I'm considering starting a blog,is it v...Hello, I'm considering starting a blog,is it very difficult to do?
