Do you love where you live?  I do.  It's not perfect by any means.  Eugene has it's pluses and it's minuses.  I try to concentrate on the positives.  The trees, the green, the air, the water, the DUCKS!  The places we live contribute to who we are.  Eugene can make me laugh.  It can make me smile when I see a homemade sign on a post that says, "love your family."  The beauty of our sunsets can take my breath away.  The deer in my neighborhood remind me that I am sharing this city with beautiful creatures.  Take time this Love Month to appreciate your surroundings. Be grateful for all those who make positive contributions to your community.
