It's most likely that my wife and I will be moving about twenty minutes south into the State of Illinois in a number of weeks. I was born in Illinois, and then spent over three years in Ft. Worth, Texas, moved back to Illinois and and have lived the rest of my life (thus far!) in Wisconsin. I have lived in Wisconsin for almost nineteen years. At first I didn't care of it. Nothing in particular, really. However, overall a period of time I started to appreciate the character of the State, the people and the land. Now I don't want to move back to Illinois (but we will), even though Wisconsin is a mere twenty minutes away.
I thoroughly enjoyed my years in Texas. It certainly has a different 'feel' about it than any other place I have live. During my years in Illinois, I lived in the Metro-East area of the greater St. Louis. I love St. Louis. I have visited a number of places that I enjoyed, especially California (Redwoods!).
Now I stand at the door of another opportunity, another period of change and growth. And it's not just a phyical move to a new locale that I'm talking about. No, much more than that. Perhaps I'll share that another time.
Who else has fallen in love with a 'second' love, another place in which you didn't grow up, but now is a place you truly love?
