*So, its just another day in paradise. And sometimes, "Paradise" isn't all that stimulating...I know, its up to me to change my attitude.- absolutely! So... for now I'll reach out to friends... chat with someone who's day is different from mine.... and move on.
I've spent lots of time wondering if I should stay here or move back to N. California...I keep musing about what its like there vs what its like here:
*Temperate climate Vs Tropical climate
*Old Friends, family nearby VS New Friends (some who come to stay others who move away within 2-5 years)
*People who love where they live, VS People who love where they live.
*Versatile Music Venues to attend - Limited music venues and even limited radio - no Sirius,
*Cutting-edge Art of all kinds VS Island-style, themed Art Galleries
*100s of hiking trails VS limited hiking trails
*600 + species of birds and animals vs few bird species & only mongoose, pigs, wild goats
*Dog walking parks & people parks everywhere vs 1 dog park available
*Diverse geology, geography, national parks etc w/in 4 hours drive VS 1 national park, volcanic geology only
*Diverse transportation & lots of roads readily available VS limited busline, no trains, expensive airfare, 1 major road around the island (can be driven in 4 hours)
*Excellent Healthcare, Hospitals, Specialist doctors VS Shortage of Docs & Nurses & outdated Hospital
*Many 55+ Active Housing VS only a few on Kona side of Big Island
Any way... I could go on...its not a pretty site when I look at life as if its just one beg Pro and Con list. Instead of living just for today and seeing the grace in this day, this moment
