Theme of the Week 1 – If you could pick any place in the world to live, where would it be?

I’ve had a few people ask about bringing back Theme of the Week, and I think that’s a great idea!

So today, we will start with the first one, see below. The mechanism will be a little different than on the old site – because thanks to us have tags on our entries, we can organize Theme of the Week entries easily! So, when you post your Theme of the Week entry, be sure to go to the bottom of the editing screen and add a tag (if you haven’t done this before, just click where it says “Add your tags here.” and then type in “TOTW1” (next week we will use TOTW2, and so on.

Theme of the Week 1 : If you could pick any place in the world to live, where would that be?

I picked a simple one this week – maybe we will get into a bit more deep thought as more people come onboard the site 🙂

I guess the point of this question is, where would you live, if you eliminated all the other reasons you have for living where you do? We all have reasons of family, job, nostalgia, a million other things, to live in the place that we do – but if I took all that away, I would live someplace on a beach on an ocean. With palm trees – there is something magical about palm trees that transports me and makes me believe I am in an exotic locale. DiaryMistress would be there, and we would have a bedroom that looks out at the ocean, with a window that would frame the sunset every day.

In my head, it’s really a South Seas island (again, removing all the other reasons for not living in a place without modern conveniences) with peace and quiet, just the sound of the waves to wake up to every day. But there’d also have to be an easy and instantaneous way to get out of the peace and quiet and back to “civilization”. I don’t want to be isolated all the time!

Oh and there’d have to be high-speed Internet access, and some good restaurants, and the rest of my family would have to be able to visit easily, and so forth 🙂

Update: I should have added this above, when we are using tags like this, you can easily see all the entries with that tag (in this case, all the entries for this Theme) by clicking the tag at the bottom of the entry (down there, the purple box that says “#TOTW1”).

That will take you to this page: https://www.opendiary.com/tag/totw1/ where you can see all the entries for the theme.
