Some people drift along like a cork on a river, feeling that they cannot do anything except drift, moment to moment. This is an attitude of mind. Everyone can be constructive even in tiny ways. - Edward de Bono
As does happen in our community, company came to town this week. These are old friends – the husband is one of my best friends going all the way back to high school. He, his wife and their three children were here for three nights and days.
Do you remember the weather for the week of June 8, 2009? It’s was a fairly cool and wet week. The hiking and rafting were not seen as motivating events so we took to our town – our special town.
We took them downtown for window shopping and real shopping. We stopped for hot coffees and hot teas. We visited art galleries. We took them to the recreation center for climbing and basketball. And through it all, I was so darn proud of everything that Durango is and can be.
People were friendly, even (or maybe because) it was rainy. It was easy to drive in our town compared to the metro areas our friends were from. The beauty with clouds and rain and even snow as seen on the mountaintops were special.
It’s a great place to live. It’s a great place to share. I hope you have a chance to experience it.
From Durango, Colorado,
