A New Life, New Start in the Ohio Midwest Country
Hey guys, I knew I had to come online and write something here to my faithful readers, and friends. As a lot of you know, I left the crazy, and busy city behind, and I moved out on my own in the country. Well maybe not totally in the country, but it sure feels like it. I’m about 30 miles away from where I lived with my family. To be more specific, I live in Licking County, Ohio, which is mostly rural with villages, and a few towns, such as the one I live in. There is a lot of Midwest charm around here. I rarely saw such kind people in New Jersey, or New York. People out in the country are a lot nicer, and more relaxed. Obviously there’s going to be cowards, and bad people anywhere, but there’s a lot less than big urban cities.
It’s so beautiful here in my town, and such a perfect balance of everything here. I’m only 3 miles away from the majesty of nature, but also a few miles from the town center with shopping centers, and awesome restaurants. My favourite part about this historic town that I live in, is that there are dirt roads, majestic hills, valleys, and most of all, the town is embraced by 30 miles of countryside in all directions. Millions of acres of unlimited open space. It’s the perfect setting to relax, enjoy, and raise a family. I know God brought me here for some reason, and I’ll find out someday, why.
I am making new friends, and meeting amazing people, but most of all, I have a church that I attend to, that is perfect for me for my spiritual walk with the Lord God. This town is everything that you could ask for. It’s rich in history, and heritage, and historic tradition. I really like that the town has little amounts of street lighting, so at night it’s like a village that sleeps away under the moon…. Ahhh… Haha. Sure, it’s not a perfect place - there is some crime, and crazy people, but you get that no matter where you go, or what country it is. So right now I’m sitting here typing this journal entry in my quiet, peaceful apartment, tucked away in trees, and hills. I am so relaxed, and just happy. I’m away from the city, away from the crazy noise and stress. I am so happy to be here. I will be back soon! Please leave me some comments, I appreciate it a lot!!!
