A difficult place, yes, owing to the climate and altitude, and one where you have miserable neighbours. But not cursed. I have lived in a place that I believe to have been cursed. At least two former residents were suicides, one part of the house had a bad atmosphere, I did feel as if there was a malign force (indeed it was as if a person walked about the place - a few times I even saw him as a shadow). Spiritually aware people tended to be dragged down. Nothing seemed to prosper there, even when they should have done. The home that you describe is too happy and you are too positive to be living in such a cursed place. I don’t think that you live in a cursed place.

But not until we stop and look within do we find it. Very true... Shari, I once read something like this:

I liked it "Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude." I think You got that down well! You are a great uplift to me and I love You for all you share . . . I saw this on my daughters blog. I liked it “Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, worn or consumed.

I can honestly say that I have come out stronger, and wiser. God, wife, and friends got me through those very tough times. Focus on what is good. You will make it. You make a difference in a lot of lives, and a lot of things. Keep on keeping on. I appreciate you! I can tell you that I have gone through unimaginable events in my life.

I know how to do that pretty well. :-) Yet fighting to be elsewhere now... My dream does not end with this mountain, I have lived on many a beautiful mountains. You'll see! I don't give up that easy.

Perhaps this is the impetus to find someplace new to love... At least you have answers, whatever small comfort that is...
