Working on my laptop at campus and this image appeared. Actually the sun hit me right in the face, almost as if shouting at me to take the image.

Finals week at Lory Student Center on Colorado State University Campus -
Was I insane?
Nothing like a chocolate eclair to start the morning I felt the cold of the 18 degree December this morning as soon as I stepped out the door at 6:50 am. I questioned why I would leave my warm condo into this frigid temperature and walk to the bus stop, hoping the bus would be on time. Was I insane? No is my answer, because I knew that in a short while I would be walking into a favorite coffee shop and be greeted with a warm and inviting smile from one of the baristas. I knew I would be told “Good morning Monte. Do you want your usual?” Once I ordered and paid, I would then find a comfy place to journal, read or both and enjoy a warm mocha latte. However, on this particular morning, and because of the cold, I decided I wanted one these chocolate eclairs to go along with my mocha. No, I’m really not insane but living a simple life with things I enjoy. Yes, life is good. Stay warm wherever you are!

Playing the piano
Playing the Piano There is a piano outside in the lobby of the Lory Student Center theater for people to play. It seems to me I almost always see and hear someone playing. I find it interesting to see these young people sit down and play. Some are dressed poorly, some carry a backpack of books and are using this time to relax between classes. And, the talent is wonderful. There were no words said between us as I just walked around him composing images. He sang one song and actually brought tears to my eyes. Thankful for autofocus.
P.S. And, the snow began falling around 2:00 pm, just as perdicted. They say 14 inches. Sigh!

Christmas decorations already….
Looks like some college students are already in the Christmas spirit. But, I wonder if they remember it. -
Using our inner lens
New bicycles “If you try to view yourself through the lenses that others offer you, all you will see are distortions; your own light and beauty will become blurred, awkward, and ugly. Your sense of inner beauty has to remain a very private thing.”

It’s the habit of seeing
