Dreaming of Paradise...

For what seems like an eternity, it has been inexplicably cold where I live. I sit at my desk with nothing to do but wonder what keeps me away from the tropical places I so deeply desire to be...and yet...there isn't really a great answer...there are the material things - the house, the car, the furniture; there are the emotional things - my amazing family of friends, the job/family (one in the same in many respects), and all of those pesky practical factors to consider as well. I often wonder what it would entail to convince my family of friends to uproot themselves and endeavor to a new life in a new place, one free of snow and cold. I can't be the only one down and depressed by our current state of affairs. Until then, I will continue only to dream lucious dreams of the tropical paradises I have only so far been able to visit.
