So... I moved back to my parents house in major-small-town-but-totally-ON-the-grid-Scotts-Valley. Leaving major-in-the-middle-of-nowhere-totally-OFF-the-grid-Farm wasn't quite planned and it has left me with some conflicting feelings.You see, I loved the farm. I loved the people, animals, slowness, so many things. And I miss them. I miss the people there, I really miss the animals, and I miss not being as available (which results in more lifestyle slowness.)
At the same time I'm really glad to be back in the land of high speed internet. I love that someone can call me to come hang out downtown and I can get there in 10 minutes. I enjoy not spending 30 or more minutes going anywhere. I like being able to walk to the store. Even more than that I love hanging out with my family and friends more often. I had numerous last minute visits this summer - non of which would have happened if I was still living on the farm.
Life's about changing though - and I'm settling into this new rhythm - realizing that this rhythm too will end. And that's okay. Because I'm okay.
