I can respect that people like the mountains, like to hike, like to ice skate, or whatever their pleasure is. I have no need to criticize their choices, the differences in people is what makes the world work.
I would never call someone weak because they do not enjoy the things that I enjoy. It is all about choices and I am glad the we have the opportunity to make our own choices.
I get to see a lot of the lake and the mountains for a large portion of every year. I have been on the lake some part, or all, of every summer since 1970.
At this time I am happy for the opportunity to enjoy year round living with no snow and ice. I understand that it doesn't work for everyone and have no need to disparage anyone who would not want this lifestyle. It works for me.
Views like this, that I am fortunate to see all winter long, are uplifting to me every bit as much as someone else might like to see newly fallen snow or fresh powder on a ski trail. To each their own.
