I am feeling very happy to have moved back to the East Coast these past couple of weeks. It has been bright, sunny and RELATIVELY warm (as in up to freezing, not below zero). Granted, it’s 75 degrees with total sunshine back in Southern California, and the mountains probably look amazing (as they always do this time of year), but I am happy to be back by the Atlantic. In fact, this weekend I expect to see, smell and breathe in the perfect salty tanginess of the ocean on this side.

It has been great to be out walking these past several days enjoying fresh air and warm light on my face. The melting snow leaves in it’s wake sparkly streams that wind their way through the cracks on the sidewalks. Truly, it is nearly as beautiful as a freshly fallen snow. Living a HIGHLY BENEFICIAL life is easy when the weather is warm and sunny…I could even handle all three (four?) months of winter if it stays like this!!

Alas…I won’t know how I’ll make it through when the weather turns ugly again, but for the time being I am enjoying the benevolence of old man winter. Remember to drink your water and eat compliantly…life can be good, and spring may be near…will the little guy see his shadow or no…so many wonders to fill the mind on a “warm,” sunshiny February 2nd morning…be well…
