Oh Eagle, that would depress me as well, coming from sunny beaches to shoulder deep snow. Try squinting your eyes a little towards the sun, and imagine the snow as white sand dunes. And just behind them are those long beautiful waves rolling onto the beach. Hear them?

I do that sometimes when looking over the wheat fields waving in the wind. They look like waves, and I think, so this is what it’s like to live in a waterfront home. This may sound ridiculous, but it makes me feel happy. I guess it’s all about where the head is at.
