Its good to be home. I now call Brattleboro my home. When I strolled in on the downtown area today I felt really good. It was nice to visit my folks in the town where I grew up. I am however very happy to be back.
Brattleboro offers more social engagement for me than the town I grew up in. It is still small enough to have an intimate and familiar community. In town I have chess friends and writer friends. I have some friends that are just friends. I have lived here in Brattleboro for over a year now.
Staying here in this community is a priority for me. It ranks above getting work as a peer specialist. Working as a peer is my ideal occupation. And even still I feel I must stay in Brattleboro at least for now. I'm doing really well dealing with my illness right now. Living in a community that fits me well is definitely an attributing factor.
