        You really made my week (not on purpose) with that photograph and that reflection. I like the idea of renewal and constant progression forward. It is the impression I have of your character. Have a great day.

          Thank you so much SB. That’s how I am indeed, even if lately it has become a need more than a trait of my personality. Have a great eve. xo

    I know that feeling. Often times when we’re out and about driving around here I try to put myself in a visitor’s place and wonder how they see this area. I think if we don’t practice having new eyes we can miss a whole lot of interesting things. It’s a beautiful picture.

    I believe there’s always something to see if you begin to look at things from a different perspective. It allows us to evolve and transform into an improved version of ourselves.

    I love the photo and in a similar way I can relate with you! I moved to US almost 13 years ago my feelings are very similar. I am able to be here having new inspirations from a place that it is familiar but still unfamiliar, it allow me to see and discover my surroundings every day with different eyes and perpectives. šŸ˜‰ Your photo brings beautiful memories to me, I have been in France 3 times I loved to walk in the streets of Paris as much I loved visit all the small towns on the Atlantic Coast in Bretagne and Normandy…:-)

    I think that’s a mindset that should be more common because rarely do people continue to see the world and feel a sense of wonder about it. To be able to see it with metaphorically new eyes every day.

    You moved to my home country! I live in England myself but I do miss France – I’m guessing you like it quite a bit if you’ve been there for the last 20 years šŸ™‚

    Tu habitais ou avant?? Je suis de Montreal, Quebec. J’aimerais tellement visiter la France!! J’ai eu la chance de visiter l’Angleterre car ma Grand-Mere est citoyenne Britannique. Elle a rencontrĆ© mon grand-pere durant la 2 ieme Grande Guerre, elle travaillait a la Banque Barcalys cdomme caissiere et c’est elle qui changeait les cheques de paye des soldats (on dit le solde en fait il parait?) et mon Grand-Pere s’arrangeait pour toujours etre a son guichet… 4 gĆ©nĆ©rations plus tard… Son petit-fils est venu la visiter 2 fois… J’Ć©tais juste de l’autre cotĆ© de la Manche… Mais ce n’Ć©tait pas si facile de traverser il parait.. Plus compliquĆ© qu’il n’y paraissait je suppose… Je ne me suis pas obstinĆ©. DĆ©ja que je visitais tellement de choses en Angleterre… En tout cas si je pouvcais je serai enchantĆ© de visiter la France!!! Paris… La Ville Lumiere… Ha lalala!!! Chanceuse!! Je cpmprend tellement que tous les grands du rock Ć©taient a Paris dans les annĆ©es 60 et 70!! C’est la que tout se passait!!

      Je suis Italien (Napolitain en rĆ©alitĆ© šŸ˜€ ) et je travaille en France, Ć  Toulouse, depuis une bonne vingtaine d’annĆ©es dĆ©sormais. Et j’aimerais tellement visiter le Quebec et le Canada tout entier. Un de mes groupes favoris de tous les temps est Rush. Je ne sais pas comment ils sont considĆ©rĆ©s lĆ -bas mais pour moi Lee/Lifeson/Peart sont comme mes meilleurs amis depuis 2112… Porte-toi bien mon ami et Ć  trĆØs bientĆ“t!

        Rush et l’album Permanent Waves font partie intĆ©grante des groupes avec lesquels j’ai grandi! Moving Pictures est aussi un classique…2112 aussi d’ailleurs.. Leur batteur est selon moi un des meilleurs au monde avec Bill Bruford et Mr Ginger Baker!! Un super bon documentaire a Ć©tĆ© fait par Rolling Stone il y a quelques annĆ©es… Tout un personnage!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwygA3BBUvs

    Ah ha, cassoulet et foire gras country is the south-west. That is my ‘neck of the woods’ as it were. I’ve been here for eight years and while every turn reveals inspiration, delight and wonder, I’ve never felt a stranger. France is the home I’ve searched for since I was a young child. France made sense to me where the Country of origin never did. J’adore la belle France!
