A Matter of Perspective

I pulled my winter coat about me against the chill of the wind and trudged from my car in the Library parking lot up the ramp towards the front door for my afternoon shift. Bounding around the corner of the building, a tall young man in shorts and a tee shirt headed for his car.

He looked at me. I looked at him.

My first thought was - its not summer yet. have you ever heard of a coat?

But the words out of his mouth were "Still trying to stay warm?"

I nodded as we passed each other. I grinned, realizing that he thought I was as crazy as I thought he was!

I know when you are younger you're more likely to be physically active and with the blood running fast you stay warm. So he is acting perfectly appropriately for his situation. As am I.

It's all in how you look at it.
