Today is your day Boomer! I think dealing with snow in the dog days of winter is all about attitude. This thought as I head out to brush off about one inch of the new stuff last night, with a heavy load of 10-15 cm expected tonight.....oh, and already about a foot on the ground! Some people complain and see snow removal as a so-called "job" and a clear restriction on their time and driving. Others, like me, see it as a challenge....a chance to get outside, get some exercise, and enjoy the natural wonders of a white, winter wonderland. Afterall, it is January and most of us can expect snow on a regular basis in Canada. So, maybe what you need is a little inspiration....from say, a motivating blog, or a new snow blower, or even a new shovel. Take a look at that old plastic shovel you bought in 2003 and maybe think about spending some money on a new supermodel shovel. Have you checked them out at Rona or Home Hardware lately? Shovels....with new ergonomics, designs, and light weight have come a long way since you last bought one! But more importantly, Boomers, is your optimism. Most of you are retired, and you have the time and will to tackle a snowfall with vigour and enthusiasm. It is white and wonderful. Cheers!
