Sometimes you find yourself in an odd lil alcove, but do not mind it. And actually prefer it to the main room. We all know how it can be…alone in a crowd. Embrace the stance as a solo observer, jump into the bevy 👟 👟 Get out of the pjs, get into a fab bit of gear & go have a wander. If you keep your eyes up, there’s bound to be something interesting, beautiful, odd, inspiring, exciting, intriguing, some combo, all within your view 👁️Most times when I do not want to leave the apartment (when working from home, maybe it’s been a couple of days?) is when I know that I need to get out, even just to go to the grocery or 99c store. Buy a single item. Or just enjoy their a/c. I’m sure I’ve mentioned before that over 20yrs ago, back when I was still a smoker & when smoking indoors was still a thing, I’d put on a frock, or a suit, walk to the cafe, have my espresso & do my crossword & smoke smoke smoke (embarrassed that I was a long time smoker, gahrooos) Putting on that item which hung waiting for the right event…well, today is the day, is the event. Maybe chat to a stranger, run into a friend, or find a lil alcove. Stay curious. 💜🗝
