In our retirement years, warm weather climates work so well for us. The sunshine alone does wonders for our mental attitudes, and the warmth of every day helps with the normal aches and pains of everyday life.
My parents have a Sunshine Voice when they call home from a Sunshine climate in the winter. I comment on it all the time. The sunshine just naturally gives them happiness and a little more lift to their walk! It's a good thing (as Martha says)...
