storytimewithjoeI am feeling rather philosophical today. (Probably the New Moon affecting my mind-wanderings).
My husbear has hit a bit of a wall. Between the high cost of living here in So. Cal. and just the sheer amount of annoyance at the city, the politics, or whatever, he is just annoyed. I can't say I blame him. I probably have more of those days than he. But to be realistic, is any place "ideal"? What city doesn't have some corruption in the government? What city doesn't have some pollution? What city doesn't have clashes between cultures or religions, or philosophies?
I think we have an excercise in front of us where we need to both determine what we consider to be important and critical things that help us to maintain our joy.
Let me ask you guys out there in LJ world - what are the top five things that you all consider to be THE MOST important or critical things when it comes to selecting a place to settle down?
