Livin' in a Small Town

I'd just like to shout out another gratitude post about living in a small town. I love being able to go to a local festival or high school football game or pizza place and catching up, even if only for ten minutes, with friends I haven't seen in a while. I love being able to walk to the library or antique store or local historical society. I love knowing the local police officers and firefighters and feeling fairly safe. I may love to travel to big cities and to the beach (Lord, how I love the beach) or to the mountains, but I'll always come back here to my little town and see familiar faces at the grocery or the farmers' market or the pharmacy. I love living in a small town.
