I have to say that when I first moved up here everyone said, "You're moving where????" (Of course in that tone as if I were crazy!) And now I get comments about how jealous people are of where I live. I'm trying very hard to learn a good lesson from the tiny town of Forks. At just about 3,000 residents, it is one of those "blink and you'll miss it" towns. But everyone surely knows about Twilight at this point. Incredible. Just last month alone the visitor center had 16,000 visitors. What I"m trying to learn form them is to take what good there is and run with it and to let the bad just roll off my back. It is easier said than done and Forks certainly has growing pains of its own, but the town is flourishing very well. May I flourish just as well and learn to take the good and discard the bad.
