I've said it before and I'll say it again; I love the water.  Although I adored living on the ocean when I was in St. Thomas, nothing beats the fresh water of the lake.  Leaving my home in Michigan was always a challenge for me mainly because of the water. I know this sounds ridiculous but it is so clear, and when the sun is going down it turns bashful pink.  In the summer it is warm, and clean, and crisp, and it makes me feel like a little kid again.  Now that I live in Chicago, I'm closer to Michigan, and more importantly Lake Michigan.  Being able to go for a run up to Lake Michigan after work eases my pain and reminds me how far goodness can stretch.
