According to Wikipedia - A snowbird is someone from the U.S. Northeast - U.S. Midwest - Pacific Northwest - Canada who spends a large portion of winter in warmer locales such as California - Arizona - Florida - Texas - the Carolinas - or elsewhere along the Sun Belt region of the southern and southwest United States - Mexico - areas of the Caribbean. These people are typically retired persons who - wishing to flee colder weather - relocate to warmer climates during the cold months. At one time only the wealthy were able to afford this - today many more are able to qualify as snowbirds due to lower costs of relocating. Some people acquire permanent residences while others rely on rental properties. For many years I found it hard to understand why people felt inclined to become snowbirds - until this January - when the bitter cold made it very clear to my wife and I why we might consider following this flock of snowbirds to warmer climates.
In each of our lives we seek the basics of life - comfort being paramount. If you are not comfortable then happiness will elude you. Compromising your beliefs - living a life that is not compatible with your own comfort zone will lead to an unhappy existence. To be true to ourselves means being true to your inner spirit - in contact with that spirit which unites you with God. To deny yourself - to deny your happiness - is contrary to God's plan for your life. Jesus came that we might have life and live it to the fullest - in comfort. If you are uncomfortable then invite Jesus into your life and He will create the warmth and happiness that you seek.
