What a Difference a Year Makes!!

Last year at this time I was in Seattle getting ready to head to Vancouver for a week by Amtrak. Today one year ago I went out and almost didn't have enough snow to go out on a snowmobile, today I have over 10' of snow on the ground still but today was rather warm and melted alot, hopefully it will freeze and make the road better for travelling. We left at 7:30 headed north on the train heading to Vancouver and there is no better place to celebrate a 50th birthday. We had a good time visiting many of the local resturants and bars this year I'm going to Seattle to see a Reggae show. When I come home Sunday I'll still have snow, compared to last year when I was able to drive to within 6 miles of Trinity for about 10 days but then the snow returned in late March and we got almost as much in 2 days as all of winter, this year that won't be a problem, it will be a while before I'll be driving in very far. Life is good, I continue to learn what is important love, peace, and compassion and realizing that what is, is, neither good or bad, and that everything happens for a reason. Paradise is wonderful, may you find yours.
