A. What’s a Snowbird? (Introduction)

A snowbird is the phrase used for people that go to warmer climates over the winter months to live in order to escape the harshness of their more northern climate. Often times, it tends to be retired folks that have the ability to spend several months in another location compared to the rest of the year. I wasn’t expecting to ever be a “snowbird”, but here I am. A retired empty nester, spending several months in Florida with my husband to wait out the winters of Colorado. It was my husband’s idea and to be honest. I wasn’t convinced I was ready for such a drastic life change. There was significant doubt and trepidation on my part. I said, “maybe a month or so to start”, my husband said, “let’s try at least 3 months to start and see how it goes”. We stayed four.

Join me as I walk through this new adventure and make discoveries of how God is working in and around me.

When is the last time you faced a big change in your life? How did you handle it? What emotions were involved?

“For it is God who is producing in you both the desire and the ability to do what pleases him.” Philippians 2:13
