So, in case you haven't noticed, I have become OBSESSED with the Little Free Library Movement since discovering there are 2 (that I know of) in Grimsby already. They are beyond cute and the most basic, yet important, idea ever!
I have to begin this post with a HUGE thank you to all of you who read my blog on a regular basis, and to those of you who are new here over the past little while. The response to my last post entitled "My New Small-Town Life" has been nothing short of overwhelming. It has been read (to date) more than 225 times, shared on Facebook pages and websites, and I even received a message from the woman who owns the Little Free Library that I raved about! Talk about a small world!
For 3o of the past 40 years of my life, I lived in what I deemed to be a medium-sized city. Burlington, Ontario - current population 285, 000. We had everything we needed right there - a great hospital, waterfront trails and beaches, annual music festivals, Canada's Largest RibFest! Did I mention RibFest? ;) And because I had lived there for 30 years Burlington grew along with me, so it never felt big to me. I could get around it with my eyes closed, knew where obscure little side streets were when people mentioned them, and could do that whole "jeez remember when the Go Station was a corn field?" thing, that proves you have grown right along with your city.
And then, 4 months ago, we made the decision to uproot ourselves from that safety zone (my 12 year old son has never lived anywhere else) and move to Grimsby - population 25, 200. Blending households with a significant other in your 40s inevitably means one party makes the sacrifice of moving to the other party's comfort zone. We were willing to make that sacrifice.
