For some of us it's the mountains...for others it's water.  What is your preference?

From the time I was very young I realized how much I loved the water (although for the life of me I can't do much more than dog paddle) and wanted to live as close as possible to it.   Do I have to be in it or on it?  NO.  Just let me feast my eyes and I'm content.  Am I particular as to the body of water?  Again, a big NO.  Make it the ocean, a very big pond, the river, or a lake and I'm bound to be happy and content.



By the way, I do like being in the water and I love getting on our Tritoon on a beautiful day, taking a nice long ride, dropping anchor somewhere away from our dock, and just feeling the rocking of the boat.  I've been known to take a folding lounge chair on board and dozing off.   I often think that Lake Anna is the closest I'll probably ever get to heaven.  At least it's my idea of heaven.

Others want the mountains.  I wonder what creates this difference in us.  I could easily live on the side of a mountain PROVIDING I had water stretching out in front of me.  I'd love to know how we arrive at our preference. 

All I know is, the first time I went to Hawaii I sent my mom and dad a post card telling them that I knew a stork had not brought me...it was a sea gull.

Where is the right spot for you?
