I've never kept a journal or blog before...but I'm currently enrolled in the University Colloquium class and am required to keep one! so here goes....
I'm expecting to learn a lot about the environment around me. I lived in Southeast Florida (Ft. Lauderdale) for 11 years. Lots of buildings, construction sites and torn down natural environments. When I first moved to Florida, I lived in Weston (when it was still 85% everglades). I remember sitting on my patio, which overlooked the glades, and thinking how beautiful it was - especially at sunset. I moved to downtown Ft. Lauderdale and lived there for 9 years...lots of cars, pollution, trash, etc etc. When I left Ft. Lauderdale and moved to Naples in August 2009, I began my journey down the road of appreciation. Since I moved to SW Florida, I find myself appreciating small things - like birds' nests in trees and watching birds eat in water-soaked grassy fields. I'm hoping that I get to learn much more about the environment around me.
I'm excited to get home later tonight from work! There's a nest in the tree outside of my balcony! Babies are coming very soon! Just hope I get to see them!!
