Sometimes when we go on Big Adventures we wonder aloud, “Why did we ever leave Santa Barbara?” It’s not that we’re snobs, nor that there aren’t other parts of the continent that are spectacularly beautiful. It’s not even all the excellent arts, culture and fun entertainments here. It’s not reason at all. Just a gut reaction when we fly over local scenes like this.
We live in a modest low-rent place so we can afford to be here, and we scrimp on everything else so we can fly. But maybe we still enjoy it more than some of the people living high on the hillsides in mansion estates like these.
I guess the secret to happiness is being happy with where you are and what you have.
