a life worth waiting for

I went to watch Made of Honor today [I know, it has been showing for a very long time. I'm just slow] and all it has done is fuel in me the desire to up and go to Scotland and live there forever. Parts of the show were filmed in Scotland and the scenery was nothing short of breathtaking. Here are some shots I've found of random places there:

Footpath to Glen Clova [Imagine traipsing past here everyday]

Glencoe

Glenfinnan [Imagine looking out the window and greeted by a view like this]

Sunrise over Loch Voil [and spending free time sitting by the lake enjoying the majesty of God's creation]

Dunkeld Field [Not forgetting the cows, or sheep in this case, in the backyard]

As I watched the images of Scotland flicker past on the movie screen, I felt this pang in my heart, a desire to live there, and which will probably not be met in this lifetime. It felt like a longing to return home. Perhaps I've wanted this for so long that I felt rather attached to a place that I've only ever seen in pictures. Maybe one day I'll finally move to this place and live the life I've always dreamed of. This certainly lights a fire under my bum and places in me the motivation to work hard for it. I guess I'm not made for a concrete jungle.
