We've been in TV for almost 4 years and like Villages07 we are amazed and grateful for the opportunity to live in paradise. In the past we've been privileged to live directly on the ocean and when up north we overlooked the Hudson River so we were hesitant to make the change. We thank God on a daily basis that we followed our hearts and moved here.

The reasons for loving TV have been mentioned by others over and over but I feel that the essence of our happiness here is intangible. People mention how crowded and rude people are but having lived in Florida for many years I can tell you that the Winters all over Florida are crowded with people from northern climates and you get all kinds of attitudes. When we lived in a beach community we would have to plan our afternoons out because of the traffic and frequently we refused to have dinner out because of the crowds. Everyone wants a piece of our perfect climate in the Winter.

For me the most important thing you can bring to TV is gratitude for having the opportunity to live another day in near perfect weather with some of the finest people we've ever met. Take what you want and leave the rest.
