My New York

I haven't really traveled a whole lot in my life, but I have always dreamt of seeing and experiencing far off places.

Everywhere I've ever traveled, I have thoroughly enjoyed though. Even when most would find it silly, I find it exciting!

I find the architecture in Louisville, KY beautiful...and yes, I think their buildings are tall.

I find the wide open spaces in Wyoming to be enchanting. It reminds me that God truly is an artist.

I find the lightning bugs in Nauvoo, Il. to be quite magical. And the history of that little place, rich.

There are so many places I want to see.

There are a few places that I have desperately desired to experience. Their allure is so great.

One such place, is New York City. Which I visited for the first time this spring.

I can't fully explain this connection, but it's there, it's strong, and it propels me towards it.

Without knowing everything about New York, all it took was one visit, (totally 5 days) to fall in love.

The moment I stepped onto the streets of New York I knew I would be tied to this place forever.

New York understood me, I understood New York. The rhythm, the pace, the utter beauty was intoxicating.

The more I saw, the more I loved.

New York is my dream.

I can be happy anywhere, but in New York, it would be pure bliss.

The longer I am away, the more I ache for it.

New York is so close to my heart, but it feels so far out of my reach most days. Some days I feel I'm close to grasping it, and then reality sets in...

....New York is 2,193.1 miles away. That's far.

...though, a distance I would be willing to cross, for my New York.

If I crossed that distance to New York, would it take me in?

New York is my dream, my far away...but cherished dream.
