I've been to Alamosa several times because my husband has performed stand-up comedy there. I've come to adore Alamosa because of its people, its quirky, old downtown, and the vast landscape that changes from sand dunes to mountains to desert scrub. Honestly, some of the nicest people I've ever met live in Alamosa. They were SO grateful for a great night of comedy. Some people wanted to invite us over for parties. Others wanted us to come by and pick up free jerky and meat they had hunted themselves. And, one of the best breakfasts I've ever had was at the Mexican restaurant at the "dog leg" of the main road. Yum. www.imaginarybinky.com This is a lovely and very real post.

Even in July." I had those same exact thoughts in my head when I moved to Colorado 10 years ago. And while the cold gets to me after a while, I can't imagine living anywhere else! “I had never been here, and so I had this stereotypical picture in my head of a winter wonderland. Even in July.”

Agreed on the grass is always greener syndrome. Unless you live in Alamosa and you only see grass a few weeks out of the year. Cute post. Agreed on the grass is always greener syndrome.

I spent most of my life always wishing to move, wanting a change. You hit it spot on when you said you can't move away from yourself or your problems. Now that I'm "stuck" in Seattle, rainy, grey, wet Seattle, I have been learning quite a few things about myself that I don't really like. I am working on me now and I no longer think I'm ALL THAT. It was a sad realization but it feels good knowing that I can change and get stronger. Stay warm! Oh how true this is. I spent most of my life always wishing to move, wanting a change.

And then whined about the cold temperatures today. And then breathed a sigh of relief when I received an email from my sister-in-law in Canada who said it is -35 in the motherland. OUCH!
