my city

I was reading my friend Dale's blog and his entry about his favorite city skylines.  It made me want to look up pictures of Portland...probably my favorite city in the world.  I came across this website.  I would post all of the pictures, but it'd be easier just to click on the link.  There are so many different parts of the city that are so gorgeous...parks, waterfalls, mountains, rivers, bridges, city buildings.  I love the city and miss being there so much.  Part of it is how much more I enjoyed my life at that time.  Being at the Living Traditions festival last night reminded me of being in Portland...partly because I used to go to a lot of things like that in Oregon and also because a good friend of mine from Portland was there performing.  Sometimes you just have a moment of nostalgia.  Thanks for sharing in that moment.

In other news, I'm moving to Arizona on Tuesday.  So, I have a lot to do tomorrow.  And then I'm going to go face the excruciating heat.  I only hope and pray that this change is a catalyst for more change.  I need some change right now.  And I'm hoping that "change is gonna come".
