Winter Wonderland

As many New Yorkers I woke this morning to find a wintry wonderland outside my door.

I love the snow when it first falls, prior to the plows and salt and shoveling. It looks so clean so pristine its picture perfect. The part I do not like is the dog poo and pee , the dirt that kicks up from cars, the exhaust from vehicles, makes it all look terrible.

In New York you learn to live with things that come and go, from good friends moving, to shops closing, old homes knocked down and turned into towers, neighbors faces change, and a whole new look and feel comes upon us just like when the snow first falls and once the snow changes.

We learn to adjust and go with the flow. That’s how we roll. 

Unfortunately at times it feels that NY is no longer NY, the character of the people make the city, the flexibility of the people make the town, the caring and manners make the block. True New Yorkers know how to be neighborly therefore we welcome change, embrace new faces and go with the flow.

We hope that our new comers will respect us, and be neighborly not just “the folks next door”.

So keeping that in mind on this wintry day, remember the “neighbor” who may need help shoveling and show your true NY spirit !

We always do …

Enjoy the weather go make some snow angels !!!
