Do you live someplace magical?
We just got back from chasing a pod of killer whales along the shore. They swam right past the end of our street, but were gone by the time we got there. So we bundled the whole family into the car and set off in pursuit.
What's magical about the place you live? Is it quiet or do you love the bustling street life? Do you have a great view, whether of the open prairie or bright city lights? Are you close to family? Do you have a great neighbourhood? Is the architecture, the trees, the mountain air or the cultural scene that you love? It is small-town charming or the energy of the big city?
Or did you end up in some place that you just ended up in? Is it just like every other 'burb? Is it named after the nearest freeway exit? Is it a bedroom community instead of a community?
If you don't live in a place that has magic for you, shouldn't you?
We think this is a question worth thinking about when you are getting married as well. Not just, "Who's place are we going to move into", but "Where would we really love to live?" Or "Where would we like to try living?" Or "If one of us gets a great job offer in another city, are we both open to the idea of moving?" Even if you already live in a super spot, you should touch base and make sure the two of you are thinking along the same lines.
Happy Couples, Happy Planet!

brilliant question: If you don't live in a place that has magic for you, shouldn't you?
I ended up where I am because it was near home and town that I grew up with. Every once in a while I have thoughts that wonder if I could live somewhere else and where that might be... now I have a question to follow through on my wondering thoughts.... magic... again thank you... I love questions!
You are most welcome! There is a lot to be said about being in a place close to family. In our case, it is where we decided to be after years of wandering. And it is a great relief to us!
