My online journal sharing interests in photography, nature, coffee life, journaling, fountain pens, bicycling, spirituality and asking deep questions.
My sister and I arrived back in Colorado last night. I was home and in bed by about 11:00 pm. It was a wonderful time with my family. Good and plenty of food, laughter, and memories were shared.
This Santa has a unique story to him. We all worked on this Santa wood carving so we now have a tradition where he gets passed along with one of us for the year. Each Thanksgiving we pass him along to the next one for the coming year. So, Santa came home with me this year.
Many people start their days with routines. Some have set patterns that must be done before leaving in the morning. Some will continue their patterns after leaving, such as stopping by a favorite coffee shop. The morning cup of coffee can be found all over the world as one of those morning traditions, their day would be incomplete. That’s where I was when I took this image of a man enjoying, relaxing while sipping on a coffee, munching on a bagel and reading the newspaper. A ritual. A tradition. What are yours?
