Something New

With much going on these days, I feel like I'm always sandwiching in this and that in order to get everything done in a day.

But this afternoon I took a detour going home and let myself enjoy a few quiet moments before carrying on with my day.

First stop was an organic grocery store I'd never been to in Frydek, a town nearby.

I love discovering new stores with healthy food in them! And this one did not disappoint. It was full of new items I've never seen before, and made me want to come back when I've got more time to browse. But for now, I know it's there, and for sure, I'll be back.

Next stop: the park next door.

It sits alongside a road I've driven on countless times over the years. I've always wondered what it was like, but never stopped to see it.

That changed today!

Though a highway borders it on one side, and a busy road on the other, there were few people in the park and it was surprisingly quiet and peaceful. I loved strolling through, enjoying the early fall beauty.

Just those two stops were enough to perk me up and send me on my way for what the rest of the day held.

It only took a few minutes of doing something new to refresh me today. I need to do that more often.
