In my part of the planet,
we usually have a lot of snow
over winter.
This year,
we had snow stay on the ground
for less than a week
and that snow didn’t reach
the top of my running shoes.
This is a climate disaster.
Spring crops will struggle
due to lack of snow pack.
Vegetation and animals
will suffer.
Owners of ski resorts
are in financial distress.
But we’re business builders.
Of course, you and I
also
see the many opportunities
in having no snow
over winters.
There are ALWAYS opportunities
in disasters.
The house that burned in a wildfire
has to be rebuilt.
People displaced by a flood
have to eat.
But we should also remember
that it IS a disaster.
People are scared, sad, mourning.
Approach the opportunities
with empathy and tact.
