Absolutely!  This is the exact same things that I came up with but in a different order - The ocean would have been 1st for me.

 I love the broad diversity that exists in so many regions of our state - unquestioned differences that are just accepted as the way things are
I  love the green cities and open spaces
And I especially like the beautiful native plants and trees that are hanging in there with us still despite all our abuses

 I live in beautiful southern California! 

Other than having my family living within 10 miles or closer, what I love about my state:

1.  It only takes me about 45 min. to the beach & about 2 hours to the mountains
2.  We are the entertainment capital
3.  and more than #1 & #2 I love with passion that I can see my Los Angeles Dodgers as often as I want
We have to forgive! If we don't forgive, we'll get left behind! janet rose

 Ok, I'm having a really hard time with this because I'm not a HUGE fan of Missouri and am excited to move in a few months. So I figured I'd do both MIssouri and my home state of Connectcut!

Missouri:
I love the lower cost of living.
I love that it's the first state I've lived in where I can get Sweet Tea EVERYWHERE! I've become a sweet tea addict!
I love the safety and relaxed feel of the town I live in.

Connecticut:
You can be sitting on the beach with your feet in the ocean one hour and hiking dense mountains the next.
I love the seasons.
I love the history and connection to the land that it holds for me.

I'm not saying forget what you lost
I suppose there's a purpose in pain
What we make of ourselves has a cost
And it's paid every time we take hold of the reins

 In Georgia-

It's almost as good as Texas, I can grow almost anything and we don't get snow this far south!

I'm only 30 minutes from Jacksonville Florida and 20 minutes from Fernadina Beach.

Cumberland Island is right down the street from where I live!

- I love that there are mountains, rivers, and a coast for beaches.
- I love how close I am to the Smithsonian's.  (Not a state thing, but the part of the state that I am in.)

Grrrr, not a Connecticut fan.

1.  Snow days from school.
2.  Within a couple of hours from NYC, Boston, and the beach!
3.  Lots of cool historical sites (Dinosaur State Park, Charter Oak, Mystic Seaport, Underground Railroad houses, etc...)
