Today is your day Boomer. Actually, it all depends on your attitude. For the pessimists, this is the first day of winter which means it is the shortest day of the year. You get the least amount of sunlight and so begins for Boomer retirees the longest, most-dreary days. Especially in a time of COVID, many of us are house bound and without family that cannot come home for Christmas. Look at the picture; many Boomers hate snow because it means endless hours of shovelling and slippery roads for any attempt at travel. In the Okanagan today, 15 cm of snow is forecast and follows a day yesterday where it hit 14 degrees Celcius and most people were outside recreating. In fact, my brother-in-law was golfing in Penticton. For the optimists, today is fantastic! It means every day from now will be getting a few minutes longer and we are officially on our way to spring. It means you can snuggle in at home with a blanket, a roaring fire, and a good book and just relax. It means you don't have to go anywhere or do anything! But, you can if you want. Got a 4x4 with good snow tires? Go skiing, hiking or snowshoeing in a winter wonderland! Chances are you will see very few people; lineups at the ski hill will be sparse. By the way, I enjoy shovelling snow. It is great fresh air and awesome exercise; some would even see it as continuous weightlifting. Just don't overdo it. And finally, ever take a hot tub during a heavy snowfall? It is quite the experience. Boomers, is the glass half full or half empty today? It is up to you. Cheers!
