I had a client today from the midwest. All she could talk about was living down south in the warmth of Texas. I have other agents in the office talking out the mountains or the woods or the beach or...well you get what I mean. It seems that we have turned into a society of people always believing that the grass is greener on the other side...or the other coast...or in the valley...or on top of the mountain!
When I grew up I could tell you the names of every neighbor on our street. We had block parties, gatherings, and everyone looked out for every one's kids. Has our mobility added to our lives or taken away the sense of belonging that only a home town can give?
I read some blog posts about how one part of the Country is having issues and in another people are trying to get sold and get out and I wonder...do we really want to cut ties when the going gets tough? I was watching one of my favorite movies (it was of course about baseball) and one of the characters said "When you find the place you belong the wind never feels quite so cold again".
