Today is one of the days I would change in a heartbeat if I had the chance.
I will be going from this…
….to this….
I am a small town girl down to my very core. I was in a large city for two years when I went to college but the pull of a much less hectic life was too strong for me to ignore. I yearn for the peace and quiet. I am a creature of habit and crave the sanctity of my home and my solitude.
Toronto is a wonderful urban center for those who need the pulse of the city to echo within them. It is a world unto itself but it is not a world where I will ever feel like I belong. Today I will do something that is not on a list of any of my favorite things. Today I will do my best to blend in among the crowd. Today I will lose myself in the endless pavement and rows of buildings competing to reach the sky. Today I will be that fish out of water, desperately wanting to get back to my lake. Today I will hunger for the shelter of my home, the welcoming embrace of my couch and the comfort of the presence of my dog.
Today is one of the days I would change in a heartbeat if I had the chance.
