So I'm home for a week for this funky thing my school calls 'touring break', which mostly means that my friends are in Colorado playing instruments and I'm here.
BUT I'm seeing it all as a really lovely opportunity to do what I want to do. I'm reading some books, doing some cooking, spending time with my family and a few friends from home, and taking advantage of the fact that, for the most part, I don't HAVE to do anything!
So today I walked to the grocery store. My mom and I are making steamed brown bread, and it calls for rye flour, which we didn't have on hand. So I called ahead to make sure that Supervalu, the neighborhood little grocery store, had rye flour. They didn't. BUT the guy graciously got a bag out of the bakery for me, and said it'd be ready when I got there. So I started walking. It's beautiful outside-- above freezing for sure. I didn't need a hat or mittens or anything. Tons of people were out and about, taking down christmas lights, or walking here or there-- it was really fun to greet my neighbors, and enjoy the weather in a sort of community.
If its nice where you are, I dare you to go take a walk-- even if you don't have a good excuse.
now GET OFF THE COMPUTER!
