Comments on: Be Careful What You Wish For … Whether Weather or Recognition http://www.boomercafe.com/be-careful-what-you-wish-for-whether-weather-or-recognition/ Stories for and about today's active baby boomers Sat, 25 May 2013 09:05:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Marcia Barhydt http://www.boomercafe.com/be-careful-what-you-wish-for-whether-weather-or-recognition/#comment-28777 Marcia Barhydt Sat, 02 Mar 2013 02:41:17 +0000 http://www.boomercafe.com/?p=11929#comment-28777 My big brother and his wife lived in Denver for many years and they loved the place.

I had a chance to visit them and they took me into the mountains. No wonder you don’t want to leave Greg. Being in the mountains is one of the most humbling experiences I’ve had – Mother Nature sure makes us realize our place in this world, or at least in the mountains. It was deeply moving.

I have Denver envy.

I’ve often said, “If Colorado had an ocean it would be the absolute best place in America!” But … it doesn’t have an ocean, so I’m a Californian and, to me, living here at the beach is darn close to paradise. Since we only have one life to live, I think it’s pretty important to live it in a place a person loves. You and I are among the lucky ones, it seems.

Colorado is clearly one of the more desirable places to live in America. It’s beautiful! As for weather respect … I lived in Colorado for awhile and perhaps the weather in the Denver area should get the award for being quite fluky. As I recall, it might snow on Monday and then be 62 degrees on Wednesday. People would often remark, “If you don’t like the weather here today, just wait a couple days & it will be completely different.”

At any rate, yesterday was the last day of February & it’s 83 degrees here. I spent much of the day bike riding and surfing. The hardest part about living where I do is forcing oneself to leave the outdoors and go inside to work!
