If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

I have a few choices. One would be Maine. Not only is it beautiful, it is also where my ancestors, on my mother’s side, come from. Second is the eastern part of Canada. Same reason as the first place. Most of my maternal ancestors are from New Brunswick and Prince Edward Isle. Living where my ancestors come from, I feel, would be amazing. Walking where they did, I think, would help me feel more connected to them.

I was taken from my mother when I was 18 months old by my father because he was pissed that she had done it first. She took me and moved in with my grandparents because he was abusive.  I never saw them again. But that is another post.

So, those would be where I would love to live.

What is your favorite place to go in your city?

I don’t have just one. The first place is the Veteran’s Center. I go there every day except Wednesday. It is a place where I can get together with fellow vets and I had never realized how much I missed that comraderie until I started going to the groups.

My other favorite place is Northeast Creek Park. It is a huge natural area that sits on the New River and is just so beautiful it’s hard to put into words. It is peaceful and a great place to go if you want to get away from the noise of the city.
