8/19/2023 Question of the day

[petrea_mitchell]

Break the Monotony Day: There’s a certain security in a steady schedule, but too much of the same thing gets you stuck in a rut and the monotony can just plain kill you. When was the last time you took a day to do something spontaneous?

I can't remember the last time I took a truly unplanned day, because I'm the kind of person who likes to plan. But I've been making an effort to do more non-routine things this summer, like finally getting to the county fair (I decided I wanted to go last year, but then it was too hot the one day I could have gone) and, after years of meaning to, to the Portland Japanese Garden.
