Some days we wander without destination in mind. There is nothing specific that needs to be accomplished during that particular day and anything, really, is possible.
The only true certainty -— attentive to the fact that nothing is truly certain — is that you will eventually arrive home, full of experience, later in the day.
We need more days like that, unplanned as they are, as hopeful as you want them to be.
Along the way, throughout the day, you may notice things that you haven’t before, or pop into an unfamiliar store to look at things you don’t really need (or be reminded of something that you do). You might even stop for lunch and nourish your body with street meat (or a sandwich) knowing the days ahead might not allow the opportunity for an impromptu picnic with time to people-watch or deal haphazardly with your thoughts.
Make sure you stop, once in a while, simply because you can. Hydrate. Refresh yourself with a couple of deep breaths.
Forget the notion that each day must have a plan, a purpose, or some sort of prosperity. Maybe time can be as well wasted as it is well spent?
You are worth the time.
It’s worth taking that time.
Wander.
It is what you do on days like these, as few and far between as you make them, when they simply happen because you made up your mind to make them happen.
As I have said before, we need more days like that (or something very similar).
Make the day a good one.
