Barber One thing about snowy weather is that it brings out the best in mountain people, their stamina and desire to survive extends beyond themselves to the whole mountain community. Their efforts to help each other really reflect that old cliche, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going." Demands of snow shoveling were great challenges time taking physical effort, however it is always best to take frequent rests between snow removal activity. The rests allowed me to pursue a couple of books and thus capture some my "move to the mountains" dream of endless reading time. A selection from thought provoking poetry by Ellen Kort suggests a good philosophy for those of us always seeking new experiences and challenges. Kort suggests to all of us in the opening line... "Begin. Keep on beginning. Nibble on everything." That is what I did in my full time mountain adventure. Oddly enough that is what I have continued to do now that I am mostly in the valley again. All those challenging nibbles have expanded my knowledge and enjoyment of life. Carolyn Barber has been writing her column in the Daily News since 1992. It appears on Saturdays.
