saturday

Almost didn't make it outside today. Had big plans but then the hours slipped by, the couch was snuggled into, books read, and chores left undone when an unexpected nap took over. Before I knew it it was dinnertime. Through it all, the sun streamed through the window not to be ignored and, again, before I knew it I was outside on my bike headed down to the Lakeshore.

The more I rode the less I wanted to stop. The Lakeshore took me to the grounds of the Canadian National Exhibition which took me to the TFC stadium vibrating with excitement as we won the game. I sat outside absorbing it all and realized that I don't need to go to sports games but sit outside and absorb the energy that busts out of the place? Oh yes.

I left the TFC stadium to join the car-filled, bike-hating streets, window shop along Queen West, wander through Trinity Bellwoods Park and eventually I found myself on the patio of Fresh where I had a great, big, cold glass of apple/carrot/beetroot juice before slowly making my way home taking the long route through High Park.

Amazing what kind of adventures take hold if you just give them the opportunity.
