    Writing time in Old Town square
    Writing time in Old Town square

    I took my youngest daughter to an appointment in Old Town last week then we went to lunch. I sat outside at one of the tables to enjoy a latte and get in some writing. This time I intentionally set the camera to the Toy setting. 🙂

    Umbrellas in Hotel Lobby

    February 8, 2017
    Armstrong Hotel Lobby
    Armstrong Hotel Lobby

    I had coffee at Mugs in Old Town this past Sunday morning. Even added a bagel and cream cheese so it was an even better morning. As I stood up to leave I noticed these umbrellas in the Armstrong Hotel lobby through the shared window/wall. So, I went next door and asked to take a few images of the umbrellas and the chair in the lobby. Pretty sure this will look familiar to Tom as this is where he and Kathy stayed while visiting Fort Collins. I chose black and white because the chair and umbrellas are black. It just seemed to fit the mood.

    Another View

    When we begin to listen with our hearts rather than our heads, our whole world changes and becomes softer.

    This is another view of my quiet corner and my meditation chair. It’s taken from my bed where the previous image was from my bedroom door.  I am grateful for having this condo. Even though it is small, it really works for me. Hope everyone has a wonderful week!

    Me and the Adirondack Chair

    … my blue Adirondack chair. I’m grateful for my sister who gave me the Adirondack chair. I’m grateful for the patio for my Adirondack chair. I’m grateful for the times I can sit in my Adirondack chair. In fact, I’m just grateful for life! Thank you, Sheree!
