Today, to give myself a much-needed break from a lengthy to-do list that wasn’t getting any shorter, I took my lunch and left the office. I dropped a few novels off at a nearby Little Free Library (one of the most civilized organizations to exist in this modern world), and found myself by a small park.
With a large, pleasantly-splashing fountain.
What’s a Diva to do? Other than dig the blanket out of the trunk of her car (it’s part of the emergency kit that I carry – you should, too! Car emergencies are bad enough – no need to be any more uncomfortable than is strictly necessary!) and settle down in the shade of a tree for a picnic. I had a mystery to read on my phone as I ate and I enjoyed a short, shoeless walk.
I have to say, I returned to the office in a much better mood than I had left it!
Explore your town, Divas – these oases of beauty and calm are all around you, if you are willing to look.
