Madison, I love it. If you’ve never been to Main St., you’re missing out. Coffee shops, boutiques, stores, thrift shops, a gelato ice cream parlor, and even a high end hat store. I recently went again with the mother, my brother and cousins. And what a marvelous time we had! Smiles around.

But what I really like about Madison is the feeling it gives me. I can walk the streets aimlessly with my head high. I can decide what road  to take and feel independent — like I’m in control at least for a little while of the direction my life will take.

I know it’s just a feeling, but it’s a good one.
