I’ve been thinking about what “slow living” might actually look like. Sure, there’s the bike riding, reading, and crocheting, but all of that isn’t enough if I’m still using my phone all the time. That amazing device that connects me with the rest of the world is the first thing that I need to put away.

We all know that we’re overstimulated. What we’re forgetting is the importance of being bored. Peace requires rest.

I’m quite tired tonight so I don’t have it in me to write much more about this but I’ll come back to it.

I don’t know why I’m in a good mood this evening. I’m tired but still have enough energy to do things. I went out to do some shopping and helped a kid put his stuff in his bag. While walking home, I helped a guy pull out of a tight parking space. I rode my bike home more slowly than I usually do.

Nothing has gone particularly well or noticeably badly today. That might just be enough. Smooth sailing.

It occurred to me that I should focus on the good things in life more, but also that people can’t really get upset with me if I’m doing the right thing. Although, what’s considered right is different for everyone so I’m likely to piss someone off. Still, I can rest easy with myself.

Let’s see if it lasts the night.
