Welcome to my blog. I will post whatever I am working on, whether it be a creative writing piece, random blip that has made my day, or an opinion I would like to share with the world. I hope that you enjoy reading as much as I enjoy writing!

I started this years ago, and am seeing if I want to make it into an author's blog.


Remember, today is not simply something to get through, but something to treasure. So smile and enjoy it!!!

Things I'll Miss About London

I don't think you can visit a place, and not have it affect you.  I will truly miss London, and hope to come back one day.

Here are a few things I will miss about the city:


  • Everything is so accessible here.  You can walk or take a train or bus almost anywhere.  Even other countries are a short trip away.  The world is at your fingertips.
  • The celebrities.  There seem to be many more opportunities to meet people here, than there are back in the States (at least where I live).
  • Meal Deals.  There are sandwiches at nearly EVERY store you go to.  There are deals with most of them where you can get the sandwich, drink, and crisps for a few pounds.  It is very convenient.
  • How cool it is over here.  It has recently been getting warmer, but for the most part, it was comfortable to walk around.  I would much rather wear a light jacket than be sweltering.
  • During the Summer, it stays lighter much longer (which makes up for all of the cloudy days).
  • The accents.  No matter what is being said, it sounds much better in a British accent.
  • How calm everyone is over here.  Someone could be having an argument, and they end the conversation with "alright then; cheers."  It is much more laid back (for the most part) and friendly.
  • Double Decker buses. They just make so much sense!
  • Let's face it.  I am going to miss a lot about this place.  I will be back again one day.
