I too had a hard time figuring out what community was exactly and found lots of different meanings for the word depending on your situation. I have skimmed my reference list and found some of the sources that I used to define community. What ever definition you like, I think that community is a vital, exciting, challenging, rewarding place that we create for ourselves where ever we go! <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></div> <div class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in; TEXT-INDENT: -0.5in"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Be well, <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></div> <div class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in; TEXT-INDENT: -0.5in"><?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns =
