Yesterday, on New Year’s Eve morning 2015, I headed off for work, marveling as I usually do, at the peaceful lifestyle we currently enjoy. In the stillness of the freezing crisp early morning air, the openness of the valley was like a picture framed by snow covered mountains merging into the clouds against the background of clear light blue sky. My first fascination with this place was because of the qualities of clean air, pure water, friendly people, and even during these deep snowy seasons of winter, the sun shines more days than not.
