Most know that I am a SoCal girl, born and raised, and that I am a transplant to the NorCal area. Now there are some pleasant changes that I have experienced. There are the seasonal changes. The leaves are so beautiful during fall and the flowers so bright and cheery during the spring. Also, I love the green, the more trees the better but it's just not home. I miss being in a freezing cold building and walking outside to the bright, warm sun. I miss breathing in the hot air and feeling my skin soak up the rays. I miss being a drive away from a beach, an actual play in the sand, dip your toes in the water beach. It's just not the same here. Obviously there is sun up here but this sun is wimpy. It requires SPF 30 not 75 and that's only in the dead of summer. The feeling is just not the same.
I miss fast paced traffic, drivers who know what a gas pedal is used for as well as side mirrors. I miss people who are too busy with their schedules they forget to pry into yours or the feeling of appreciating a clear day. I mean there are two sides to every coin but when you've spent 22 years on tails, it's hard to switch to heads.
My point is I miss home, the weather, the people, the lifestyle. Maybe this all just came on because I just visited my happy place but I just wish that visiting didn't make the feeling stronger. That's all my whining for today.
