Wow! You lived in Texas and Canada??? That's two completely different extremes. I lived in New York (upstate) and Minnesota as a child. So I've at least experienced a northern winter. I remember not being able to open the front door for the snow in Minnesota. And going outside to play in the snow BEFORE leaving the house for school in New York. Snow angels anyone??? Here it would be dirt angels.
Don't get me wrong, I really do love Texas and can't imagine living anywhere else, but I feel a certain connection with the earth and nature and things like that. Different environments bring up completely different feelings for me. Anytime I see a picture of the woods or forest, I think of New York. Anytime I see really, really cold weather, I think of Minnesota. If I had my wish, I would travel around the world and experience all the environments the earth has to offer. Desert, jungle, forest, beach, mountains, its all amazing to me. I seem to be the only one I know who feels the awe that I do about nature. My friends think I'm strange when I'm marveling over the beauty of something like the canopy the of trees overhead, or the vastness of the ocean. I had someone recently tell me I was an earth mother. I don't really know what that means. All I know is I feel an almost high when I see nature in its finest.

P.S. If this is rambling, forgive me. I'm a tiny bit drunk.
