Reading Meg's post about leaving San Francisco for New York, I'm reminded very much about how I've been feeling about Atlanta lately. I like Atlanta, I like living here, but I'm originally from New England, and I have this longing to go home. I don't think that I thought this when I first moved here, but I feel now that Atlanta is a temporary stop for me. I don't hate Southern culture, or the weather here, but I do want to be close to my family, my parents and my three brothers. When I went to Maine and Nova Scotia a couple of months ago, the volume on my desire to return to the NorthEast got turned up considerably. There's no doubt in my mind that I will be making the move within the next couple of years. Of course, this has been complicated somewhat by the purchase of a home that will need to be sold. The bottom line is that I am New Englander visiting the New South.
