Oh city life....


I am not a city girl. I am slowly figuring this out when I get frustrated with people in parking lots who don't look before they back out of their parking spot. Or I find myself avoiding major interstates at specific times of day. And I especially don't like those stop light camera's that take pictures of people who run red lights. 

Cities also have their charm. The outdoor mall that was decorated with Christmas decorations right after Halloween and has a Christmas tree made out of road signs.  Oh, and who can forget the abundance of Starbucks in the city. 

I will admit it, I miss Durango. I miss sitting in Durango Joe's. I miss walking down Main Street and running into at least ten people I know from church, school or work.  I miss the time when rush hour traffic was when there was construction on Hwy. 160 and the morning commute was a little backed up. 

The places our lives take us. Some have stop lights and other have road signs. Sometimes my life feels like an interstate. When I get going too fast or just run out of gas, I have to exit and re-fuel.  I have been going 100 mph on my interstate called life. I am looking for my exit ramp where I can regenerate and re-fuel.
