i was texting joff today and we were both complaining about how bored we were, and he said “i just need something, anything to look forward to.”
so i told him we should go hang out at a park, and now that’s what we’re doing friday after work.
i’m also supposed to meet up with conor and renee to hang out at a park on wednesday after work.
and i just set my alarm about 45 minutes earlier than usual so i can wake up, have a leisurely shower, and then go grab a breakfast sandwich and coffee from tim hortons before settling back down in my room for work.
i kind of miss stopping by tim hortons on my way to work in the mornings, standing in that line after the commute, always ready to order my usual (farmers breakfast wrap OR sausage, egg and cheese english muffin with a medium double double).
someone once told me that the happiest or most satisfied people always have something to look forward to at least every 3 weeks or something. so on any given day they have something – anything – to look forward to within the next 3 weeks.
maybe i’ll start making sure that’s the case for me, even if what i’m looking forward to is a perfectly ordinary breakfast sandwich that i’ve eaten maybe a thousand times.
i think it’s important when we have vast stretches of monotonous days that can so easily feel overwhelmingly the same.
