This is my first entire winter in Florida. I moved to Clearwater last February, to be exact, February 28th. After cold Canadian winter it was a paradise.  Although, some people might be surprised to find paradise can get uncomfortably chilly in the winter months it is a perfect for me. This winter is considered by locals unusual cold, some 60+ F at the day time and could be in low 50 at night. But I love it! It is always, ok, almost always, sunny with rear exceptions. I cannot stop be amazed by bright colors around me – everything is green, blue, purple. Strawberry’s pick-up at January! Can you believe it? Sometimes I have to pinch myself. Even if it is no beach time for swimming and tanning but perfect beach time for walking and sunbathing. Although, beach walk is not enough to get over desperately unhealthy Christmas and other holidays of red wine, cheese, rich tasty food. Time to change the diet and get back to fitness that I have ignored for last good five month. getting a personal trainer and then actually going to the place every, single, day. I do not believe I do it but I should be ready for a new swim suit!!! Ok, I will go there every other day Now, sitting

at my condo, listening to the gulf waves I feel happy and inspired. Time to get up and do some painting, or sketches, at least…
