I've got to say one of my favorite new things about Jackson Hole, is the time I've had to myself to wander about the city; to stumble upon hidden treasures. The line from the song Hometown Glory by Adele comes to mind, "No and thank you, please madam. I'm not lost, I'm just wandering..."
It has been snowing the better part of today, and I was sliding through the city square in my bright red A-Line coat, I happened upon Shades. One of the cutest little coffee shops I have ever seen. It is TINY and you would ordinarly miss it if you didn't know what you were looking for. They make a double non-fat vanilla latte to die for. They have issues of Jackson Hole Daily by the register, so it is the perfect place to go to start your day. For me, the smell of newspapers and coffee mixed with the murmings of locals huddled over coffee of thier choice, it set the perfect backdrop for my quiet time. I spent 45 minutes studying and analyzing the book of Hosea this morning. The longer I sat there I noticed I was being noticed bye said locals. Looks of puzzlement were thrown my way, and then I realized I was the only one reading a Bible in the whole place. Talk about a 180 from the Bible belt. My favorite coffee shop in College Station, Sweet Eugene's, was constantly packed with bible study groups, friends reading a christian book together, or couples praying for each other. It made me realize that your actions truly are noticed by others; everything you do either sets you apart, or blends you into your surroundings.
Above is my little piece of heaven. ignore the way I sound...When I start filming I turn into a mumbling/giggling imbecile. During this time, we were slipping our way through the snow, tumbling in and out of local shops eating homemade chocolate from a candy shop that has been here as long as I can remember. It is days like today that reminds me that magic happens in the tiniest ways....
