Is There Ski Mountains Near Colorado Springs?



The vegetarian restaurant that I go often, a week ago I hurry as always asking for my lunch and grabbing the first site I found. Soon came a couple that bordered the elderly, and sat at my table very attentive they saluted and began to chat among themselves in their daily lives. Mr. did not pass unnoticed, wearing a shirt with lyrics that seemed Hindi, looked over sixty years, but athletic bearing, carrying a backpack full of candy, almonds, walnuts, avocados, and other "goodies" and dressing for lunch. The lady seemed a loving grandmother, those who love to sit and listen to stories and surprises you with sweet fresh from the oven. Suddenly jumped out the classic question asked in this type of places you a vegetarian? For how long? Conviction? By religion? Why?. So began a conversation at which you can say I've met the grandparents I never had and I now know what I wanted. Jesus and Mary (not their real names) were also in love with me, an unusual meeting in which José I said at the same time that it was God who put me in that chair at that exact moment, so I got their phone and made me promise to call them.

Days after that meeting, I went to eat something with my boyfriend at the mall. Bad decision. After the pleasure to engulf some spaghetti, gave a few turns around to hit theaters, we chose a random movie and suddenly we found ourselves doing a row with more than fifty people in front of us, and was there when I autocachetié, disk stopped when you stop an LP as a slap, and I cried to my boyfriend: I really want to do this long line to see a movie that deep down we do not want to see?, do not want to become those couples who spend their Sunday at the mall, do you??. We fled from that line, fled from the temple of consumerism, and the people who are "fun" and "lies" on the Mall in its Sunday. It was then that I remembered Jesus and Mary and I called to say hello to fall with my second home, it sure would be a more welcoming place that is cool mall. Excited, I said of course we received at home, so off we went.

The Jesus and Mary house very simple, in a crowded neighborhood in the city. They had two cats, a very black as the mystery, and the other white and caramel. Photo of children and grandchildren everywhere, and a piano that well preserved austerity. Did not stop fill of food, arepas, coladas, fresh fruit brought from his farm that had been all day. We feel so stupid, Sunday at the mall in the middle of people lost and empty and resting them on his farm at the foot of the mountain with a delightful climate fruit harvesting, cooking in your cottage with your friends. We talked about many things, our upcoming wedding, we are planning a vegetarian menu of which were delighted. Thirty-five years of being vegetarian, forty years of marriage, their children become professionals, their impeccable health status, and most nice thing is that it was the most loving way I've ever seen in a pair.

I left that house with my heart could take no more of happiness for having had the good fortune to know, because people like Jesus and Mary do I keep the faith in love, in a particularly happy life despite everything. I've thought that that is the daughter of divorced parents have created this need to believe and confirm that there is love for life, which is not a matter of chance but of choice, and like everything in life, is learning, so in that I'm ... learning from teachers to graduate in the career of a mostly happy life despite everything.

While writing this post, I had in my head this song very conducive for the moment:).
