The Sunshine Florida offers along with the never ending clear weather is so rejuvinating to me. A state not that far, yet with the floozy air fares, making it difficult at times to travel. My family lives there now. My mom, dad , sister and brother. Sarasota, on the Gulf of Mexico. A wonderful place to visit, but living there full time from New England ? Don’t think so. The ocean is therapy for me. The sand, the sun and the water all rolled into one big burst of relaxation. I was there with my teenager and as she has grown, I find her company more and more stimulating, and fun. I am thankful for having her, and for the time we were able to share ,down south.  NOT to mention the sand, unlike anywhere else in the world… white powder..
