I decided to take some time today to enjoy the weather and before I launch into a big project that I have to get done. Trying to start my weeks off with some solitude to get centered and offer up the burdens of my world.

This is the park that is now occupies the old Lutheran Hospital. I really like this park. Situated in the middle of beautiful neighborhoods that are often given a bad rap and included in when discussing the SE side of town. I’m convinced there are these gems all over our city and aren’t isolated to the ‘burbs.

Taking time is so crucial to my sense of mental-health. Today I felt uncomfortable in the silence, which typically means I need more of it. More time to sit and not worry about the emails or the tasks but to sit, enjoy life, decompress, and let go of the person I feel I’m suppose to be.

I encourage you to enter into that tension sometime this week.
