A Walk in the Park

I didn't get nearly enough writing done yesterday, and today I'm going to have a picnic at a park on the other side of town. It's over 2 miles to the train station, so between the walks there and back-- and in the park, I should at least be getting plenty of exercise today. I'll bring a book and a notebook along, though. Take some pictures. I deserve a little break, right? (If you call walking several miles and engaging in casual photojournalism a break.)

At any rate, I'm psyched. Even though this park is just on the other side of town, I haven't been there in decades. It's true I can't afford to travel to far away exotic places, but I do need to see more of the life in my general vicinity. It may be the back yard to me-- but to someone else it could be quite novel.

It is easy to get bored with our day to day lives, and start to think of ourselves as uninteresting. The only way around this is to go out and pursue our interests-- within our budgets, whatever that may be. Would I rather be touring Scottish castle today? Sure. But we work with what we have.

I am looking forward to today, the train ride, the walk, the weather (gorgeous in my neck of the woods, er, I mean park) And perhaps tonight I'll get more done -- if I'm not too tired.

TTFN!
