Winter


Winter means different things to different people, doesn't it.  I just flew up to Iowa to visit my father for a long weekend.  And, of course, they WOULD wait to have the second snow of the year right after I get here.

To me, being transplanted to Florida for so long, the snow is beautiful and I enjoy standing outside and just looking up.  (Kind of like a tourist in New York City.  I guess pick pockets are probably on the rise in Iowa during snow storms.... catch your mark while he's mesmerized by the snow.....)  It keeps the economy strong.

My dad and brothers could go all year without seeing it as it just means shoveling, scraping and sliding cars.  Not something they find that beautiful.  To each his own I guess.  Life is full of perspectives.

Two thoughts --  1) keep life in perspective today and focus on the positive; and 2) don't forget that other people are not "wrong" because they have a different perspective than you do.
