The Landscape Narcissist

Narcissism is the pursuit of gratification from vanity, or egotistic admiration of one's own physical attributes, that derive from arrogant pride. The term originated in Greek mythology with Narcissus, who fell in love with his own image reflected in a pool of water.

I borrowed the above information from Wikipedia, just to prove to my lovely self that I'm not a narcissist. I'm not in love with my own reflection or image, but I am in love with the landscape that surrounds me. I'm in love with the trees the skies, the water, the shadows, the light..

Oh, lucky me, to wake up every morning and run to the window to see what bounty awaits me. I'm never disappointed, even when it rains or snows. I am profoundly lucky to love where I live. Almost ironically, the highlight of my year is my visit to les Îles de la Madelaine, when I'm gone from this place. That aside, the real highlight of my life is living somewhere that inspires me visually. I would be remiss not to mention the other equally important highlight of my life...my family. If you love where you live and enjoy the company of your immediate family and/or friends, then you're doing quite well.

So, how does your life stack up in this department? It's time for you to put down the mirror (you narcissistic bastards), and take a look around you. Do you love the landscape of your life?
