I ran out of toilet paper this morning.

And I’m glad!

Typically I do my grocery runs on the way home from the gym at night.  However with urgent priority status attained, it meant shopping earlier in the day.

Rather than just driving over to the store, I went for a more literal “grocery run”. The best part was the walk home.

• I got sunlight
• I got to say hi to strangers
• I took pictures of pretty flowers
• I smelled the roses!
• I heard the rustling of the wind through the palm trees
• I reflected on my decision to run to the groceries, how I wouldn’t have dreamed of such a thing as a kid.
• My inner child came out and swung the bag of TP back and forth playfully

I didn’t quite get to the point of singing to myself, but there’s always next time. :) For now, it was a lovely break from staring at the computer and dealing with some other, seemingly endless tasks. This one I can call complete, and I can say I most definitely have smiled today.  The vibrancy of the world around us can be therapeutic! When was the last time you took a walk outside?
