Home

I don't think home is where the heart is could be a more true expression.  I'll hear a song on the radio, or see a commercial on T.V. and instantly think about home.  When we are younger, we do everything we can to get away from the town we call home, because most of the time we'll think that our town is small or boring.

When it all comes down to it, we almost always end up either in our home town, or a town just like it.  We make excuses such as, "It's a great place to raise kids", or "I like the peace and quiet here".  We can make all the excuses in the world for where we choose to live, but the simple fact is that usually it's within our comfort zone, and it's what we are used to.

Some people might think of small towns having a population of maybe 10,000 people.  Home, to me, is just about 5,000 (maybe a little more), but i love it just the way it is and wouldn't change anything about it.

natural wonders

                Near the town where I live, we have a natural wonder.  This wonder is called Rock City Park.  Inside this amazing park are some unbelievably beautiful natural rock formations.  There are even some that people imagine could be an Indian chief’s head…

                Although some people believe that there are only 7 wonders in the world, I believe that natural wonders are the best ones of all.  No one drew up the plans to make these beautiful things, they’re just there.  Don’t get me wrong, I think that the “7 world wonders” are beautiful, but I would much rather sit, relax, and gaze at the wonders around me.

                When you get a couple free moments, think about some natural wonders that you have seen.  They may not be world wonders, but they can still be wonders to the people around you.  You might not be able to see it, but there is a trail in between these rocks.
