Very interesting thought come up with this.....

Things I miss
- Living in a time and place where leaving your house and walking all the way across town was safe. I lived with my dad's parents and would walk better part of 2 miles to my other grandparents house and back. No one every thought anything about it.
- Laying in my bed at the house and hearing the train come through town on the track 1/2 a block away. Loud, but a soothing sound.
- My mom's parents had a huge garden. I would go there, take a salt shaker out and eat fresh vegetables right off the plant after brushing the dirt off. I can still remember the taste.

Things I don't miss
- Moving from the small town to a large town - the noise of the traffic outside our window and the scary amount of people I would see every day.
- Moving 4 times in 4th grade. Took forever for me to learn that people don't always go away.
- Being the awkward, gangly child that was always picked last for sports because I was so unathletic.
