“Water does not seek the high spots to be above it all, but settles for the lowest places.
It gathers into rivers, lakes, and streams; courses to the sea; and then evaporates to fall again as rain.
It maps out nothing and it plays no favorites: it doesn’t intend to provide sustenance to the animals and plants. It has no plans to irrigate the fields; to slake our thirst, or to provide the opportunity to swim.
These are the benefits that come NATURALLY from water simply doing what it does, and BEING what it is.”

What about You?
Are you allowing yourself to be who you are, and do what you do… naturally?

Vermont is the Green Mountain State. We live across the street from Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (and the park pictured above). The state’s “universal” health care program is Green Mountain care. EVERYTHING here has something to do with “Green Mountain” yet I never realized that is what the word “Vermont” means! Taken from the French phrase, “Les Monts Verts”, Vermont literally means Green Mountain. How about that? I guess you’re never too old to learn something new.
1. Beauty, beauty everywhere!
This has been my main first impression. I can’t get over how beautiful Vermont is. No matter where I look, I see stunning Fall foliage, mountains, rivers, covered bridges, barns, and all sorts of details one would expect to find in a painting. I live in a village, where everything is within a block of Main Street.

Well, we’ve now officially left our old home and started our new life. It was a little sad at first, I cannot lie. We have a lot of great memories from our time in this house. We only brought with us whatever we could fit in this trailer… which is just as well, because our new apartment is small… or, I should say, cozy.
We’re still getting settled into it. In fact, we won’t even have internet until tomorrow. I’m currently hijacking the Wi-Fi at Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, so I’ll keep this post short. I just wanted to update anyone who was wondering if we’d made it to Vermont.
We made it!
We love it!
