So I woke up last Sunday feeling really depressed about the fact that all my friends are hung over and just want to stay at home for the day.
"Screw them," I said, all I need is myself to have a great time.
Determined to make the most of my day I decide to have a picnic and enjoy a little bit of nature. I read somewhere we crave the most, things that we don't have which probably meant that I've had it with traffic and checking my e-mail every second.
I opened my curtains and saw that it was sunny outside so I got dressed, made a sandwich, prepared a book to read and headed to the front door. As I open my front door, whoosh - a gust of wind hits me in the face as if to say, "no picnic for you honey".
I hate it when Melbourne weather tricks you into thinking it's going to be a beautiful day, "but a little wind shouldn't dampen my mood" I thought.
I made it my initiative to have a picnic that day and so I soldiered on. So I went to the garage, searched every nook and cranny for my old tent but couldn't find it, naturally building one was the logical thing to do at that point.
I found some worn out curtains and thought they might just work. I then started draping the washing line with the curtains and connected them to each other using pegs and made a myself a little hut.
I brought my sandwich, my book, a nice hot cup of tea, and my companion pet duck (Steve) inside the tent with me and I swear I couldn't tell where I was. I just knew that for a little while I changed my environment and it felt good to get away from it all.
Key notes:
1. Doing things on your own is sometimes a good thing
2. Don't worry what the weather is like, work around it
3. Doing things like when you were a kid is very liberating
4. Always have food and something to drink
5. And breathe
Take care guys and have fun...
