another good summer song...
Today i was thinking about how different small town life is compared to city life...I've never lived in a city but i have of course spent time in different cities shopping,travelling, etc...how there is an abundance of different choices in everything you see..which can be a good thing or a relief at times..don't get me wrong!....
in a small town you are definitely limited by what your choices are in all things..but limited can be a good thing too..being sort of withdrawn from all the nonsense and stress that may come with being in a city and being disconnected sort of...good for you i think..
I LOVE the fact that fate had me thrown out into the middle of nowhere to grow up and live...i'm sooooo lucky! ;)
basically you have to take what is available....which can be annoying at times..but keeps things simple and simplicity is a MUST..you gotta have simplicity to stay sane in this complicated world!...but anyhow,i always wanna support local small businesses...keep the money local..because it's easy for our little "one horse towns" to dry up...without local support/shoppers...
and without these unique old towns...there goes our quiet shopping/living/dining and our special something..most things in the cities are kinda boring..all the same pathway..cookie-cutter...and bleh...but i'm sure city people think the same of smaller towns...lol...
But i was in a store today after going to the feed store for fly spray,feed,and pet food standing there in my dirty boots,t-shirt,jeans, covered in horse and cow poop..smelling just wonderful i'm sure...Haha!...my hair all a mess from driving with the window down..no makeup and feeling like a zillion dollars...and happy as can be!....giggling to myself about loving the fact that i can stand in a store looking and smelling like a farm and nobody bats an eye!!!..because that IS acceptable in rural towns....lol...BUT if it was a city of course that wouldn't be acceptable and i would be looked down on and kicked out of any high-end store for dressing and smelling like that!...I'd have to agree with them!....i'd never go into a store like that in the city! no way.
i have never lived in a big city...i just feel more comfortable in/around the small town life...even though i don't live in town i support it...I'm nothing special,just a silly/goofy/nerdy/funny/smart/laid-back cowgirl and i'm happy this way!...haha!.....i try to buy things locally and support local business owners and buy their products...I live in the country on this farm, so it's closer to drive into the local town 30miles away and shop for things...farm supplies,groceries,gas,auto repairs...i try to always shop/eat/buy locally..help out small town America you know...
there is a uniqueness to small town people/shops/products..something you don't find in a city..they all have character..from the colors of different paints on the walls in the stores/signs/the people in the stores/the things they have to offer...the old bank clocks from way back and the architecture..i LOVE old stuff...it's just unique...and special....and quiet...UNLESS you go to the cafe at noon when Harrell/Frankie or Steven are in there and i'm in there and they are annoying us all..we get kinda loud and wild....Bwahaha!...but that's part of our charm i suppose!..lol...
I really would LOVE to open up a shop of my own in town someday..a flower shop,home interior design shop, or a boutique even?...to bring something else special into town and help out the economy...my own something unique...i would have the coolest store ever!!!...maybe someday.....
in the mean time......back to cowgirlin'
