Dear Nichole:

I envy you now, being in Florida, 74 degrees in Miami, I read, 76 in Orlando, Fl. On the other hand, where I am at, it is 31 degrees, about 13″ snow on the ground, and strong snow winds. Can’t leave the house, can’t drive, and I live outside the city limit, no city services here, such as snow plows. So.. oh, I took a walk the day before yesterday, slipped on ice, fell flat on my back and  bruised my chest muscles significantly. So.. yes, I see the advantage of Florida as I sit here, listening to the heavy duty winds.

But don’t get me wrong, Nichole, I truly and sincerely am glad you moved down to Florida from Chicago. Make the best of it, away from the pain of the past and toward a better life. One day, one step at a time, forward.
