A Place to Call Home -

Every State in the US has a state song, a state bird, and what they’re famous for. Kansas’ state song is “Home on the Range.” The state bird is the Meadowlark. And Kansas is known as the “Breadbasket of the US.”

Why am I writing about Kansas? Even though I live in Arizona, my heart will always be in my home State of Kansas.

The first time I drove from Arizona to Kansas for the holidays, I remember the distinct feeling of being proud of my home state. As I crossed the border, I felt a soothing comfort in seeing the rows and rows of wheat fields that stretched for miles. There were distant farm houses and small towns. My hometown of Wichita is the largest in the State, but I grew up going to small towns to visit family and vacationing. Our vacationing consisted of camping in or near rural areas.

I’ve created a motto that, for me, says a lot about Kansas in several ways. It goes like this, “When you grow up in a place where there are no mountains, no beaches, and few trees, you can move anywhere and be perfectly happy because you have no expectations!”

For me, Kansas means respecting others for their differences; always living by the go lden rule; and the type of solidarity that only comes from creating your own fun outside!

So when I saw this story and YouTube, I couldn’t help but share it. Enjoy!

This was a great YouTube.  I saw it this morning and sent it to a friend of mine who I know from ActiveRain.  Made me think of them ;-)  Home will always be where we come from and, hopefully, have fondness for.
