Even though I own a home in Port St. Lucie just minutes from the ocean, an uncontrollable urge wells up to return to Long Island even as others make their way south. I guess I am a snowbird stuck in reverse. Instead of enjoying Florida39。s mild winters, I willingly endure the severe weather on Long Island, the place I called home for 65 years. I39。m like a migratory bird that has lost its sense of timing and direction, my wings flapping against season. So what makes me fly against the tide of snowbirds? The answer has a lot to do with my reluctance to give up the things that define who I am. Once I hear that the temperature on Long Island has dipped into the range of 40 to 50 degrees, I begin to long for the sight and crackling sound of a wood fire. I also long for the bright display o163。 colors — first in the fall trees, and then in the limits around homes and at Rockefeller Center. Floridians decorate too, but can39。t create the special feel of a New England winter. I suppose the biggest reason why I return is to celebrate the holidays with people I haven39。t seen in months. What could be better than sitting with family and friends for a Thanksgiving turkey dinner, or watching neighbors39。 children excitedly open gifts on Christmas? Even the first snowfall seems special. I especially enjoy seeing a bright red bird settling on a snowcovered branch (My wife and I spend winters at a retirement munity in Ridge, and I39。m grateful that I don39。t have to shovel.） While these simple pleasures are not unique to Long Island, they are some of the reasons why I e back.
