I would be the same way.<br /><br />Here in Boston, Massachusetts I'd have to say the word would be PROUD. Our town is proud of its past and present and know that will bring all of us into a very secure future.

Sometimes others have a different view.

So funny that you would think the same thing! But I like ITCH better, much better for you. I'll think on mine and post it tomorrow, I think.<br /><br />The word for my town is definitely SIMPLE, in a good way. Simple life, simple people, simple land. We like our pace to be slow and our worries to be few. And we work hard at keeping it that way! <br /><br />Very cool idea, Tab, you are so smart!<br /><br />~TaraTara Lindsay Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00970258984995282462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821039846301805207.post-3897273166833161452009-10-02T19:12:51.823-07:002009-10-02T19:12:51.823-07:00One word for my village--small.

The nearest nearby town, Austin, claims Weird as their word.<br /><br />As for me, I don't know. Until your fabulous post, I'd not thought about it. Perhaps Contented. Doesn't sound like a great word, but I'm at the point in my life that I'm becoming contented. I have more women friends than ever in my life and I love them all. My kids are grown and doing well. I'm traveling more with my DH now. I'm getting the opportunity to write (about to start on my 4th book for the same publisher), and I have the privilege of editing for some wonderful writers. So, I guess Contented works.<br /><br />Helen<br /><a href="http://straightfromhel.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Straight From Hel</a>Helen Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794759602654727110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821039846301805207.post-36193338801414039682009-10-02T07:29:34.946-07:002009-10-02T07:29:34.946-07:00I think the word for Cambridge, MA is BALANCE.

We have commitment to many things, but try not to let one overwhelm the others.<br /><br />My own word right now... PATIENCE.

She saw things in me I would feel too insecure to say. That would be an interesting second-step in this exercise. To write down a word, have others who know you well write a word for you. Compare and see how close or far off they are. Is there another word that combines those? I'm babbling and going off to think.....Tricia J.
