A Strange Realization.

Today I stopped off for just a few groceries to get me through the weekend before leaving for Banff. I realized while strolling down my street with my grocery bag past the doenner kebab guy who always gives me a friendly nod and the little ice cream place packed with people that I have a real neighborhood here that I have really been a part of for the past year. It is strange to imagine that I am leaving in just a few weeks and will no longer be part of this place. Hopefully I will find a community in New York as well, but I know my time here is coming to an end and will miss the familiar places and routines I have formed here.
