Today I was thinking with nostalgia about Philly, and how much I liked it there, how much I liked our townhouse, Lansdale, different culture, the people in the ward, and was missing those parts of it that I liked. So when I said the first year after I move I talk about how much I really, really liked the old place and am still adjusting to the new, it is true about me. I really am a glass half full (half EMPTY, meant to say empty) type of person. A cheerful pessimist.
The places I miss, such as Reading Terminal Market, YumYum Donuts, Full Belly Deli, Geno's and Pat's Cheesesteaks, all the history in Center City (Philly) - essentially it's just the energy that the big cities on the East Coast project. We can forget all the negatives now.
The thing about my sister, MU, is that she finds the good and the fun wherever she is. She searches out the unique characteristics of each location. She makes friends wherever she goes. She doesn't look at the glass half empty but she does get attached to things and good times and then misses them. Rick found the perfect wife for him to pack all over the country and to find goodness wherever she goes. (I hope you realize that Ricko!)
