I thought I would compile a Top Ten from the responses to #ReasonsRuralRocks (see previous post for background info) that showed up in my timeline this week.

7. Open starry skies, flowers on dirt roads, fragrant fresh air, abundance of wildlife, commUNITY, escape... @dizzyraerae
6. Family-run restaurants that still serve REAL, fresh, home-cooked food. @ACSRC
5. Lower cost of living allowing me to work less and play more! @plind
4. Watching a storm roll in and smelling the scent of rain in the air. @MyRuralRoots
3. Water that tastes like water. @karla_kerrigan
2. Rush minute instead of rush hour. @ARDNpaul
1. Coming back home after years of being gone and hearing people call you by your first name. @onepercentyello


Thank you to all who sent in your ideas! I was totally impressed by the diversity and sheer number of comments. Let's keep this trend alive. Stay tuned to see who will make the Top Ten next week.
