Rushing
Elsie sat on this over crossing every night to watch the lights. It was mesmerizing! She thought it was wonderful that all those people had a place to go. When she was done watching, she returned to her cardboard box for the night.

Why should we be in such desperate haste to succeed, and in such desperate enterprises? If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.

Good morning. 😴☕🚶♂️➡️
30 May 2025
I'm in a bit of a rush this morning, eager to get a walk in before the heat sets in. I almost skipped my usual 'good morning' post, but since coffee is non-negotiable, here I am. Oddly, coffee never tastes quite as good after a walk—maybe because I go straight for ice water first, and by the time I get to the coffee, I barely finish it. After my walk and a quick clean-up, I have the rare task of venturing out among other people—an adventure in itself. Today’s grand excursion? A trip to the pharmacy ⚕️. Hard to believe I fit this much excitement into one day.
