Hello, @ericvancewalton
Reading you, I realize how lucky I am, living in the tropics. Despite living in a mountainous area, I could always come down and take off my shoes to reconnect with the earth. However, I also realize how stupid it is to waste this blessing. So, I will try to be wiser and act on it.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
That would be so great to live in a mild climate but I can imagine you get used to it after a while. My parents lived in Florida for a while and I remember them saying that after a few years they missed the change of seasons. You're welcome!
