The things I wouldn't trade:
Waking up to incredible sunrises
Knowing if I had a problem, someone would probably have a Fund raising barbque, blood drive etc. if I really needed their help/
Sitting on my verandah early in the morning and greeting my neighbors while they walk their poochies on the beach.
People with a great sense of humor, who can make lemons into lemonade.
A social circle that encompasses ages from 8 to 80
Never having to explain a "bad hair day".
