Letter | Chill. We live in Myrtle Beach. Why complain about snowbirds - or anything else?

Life is great; so are snowbirds

People need to take a breath.

We live at the beach.

All of the talk about loving or hating the snowbirds is ridiculous. They are wonderful additions to our community.

They provide money for our economy, and they can be great friends if you get to know them. Life is too short for arguments over issues like this. Go walk on the beach on a sunny day, talk a few deep breaths and relax. Life is great.
