What comes next I can’t tell. I don’t know. I didn’t know before, and now there’s this cat. I didn’t expect that. Now I really don’t know. It attached itself to me. I thought I couldn’t keep any pet, and then as if it read my mind, it said “I can be a backpack cat.” It’s true I needed a cat. And I can ride my bicycle with this cat. But Dee Dee, what am I supposed to do with…
This cafe I think is a nice place in my neighborhood. In the mornings it is so calm at this cafe. There is piano music playing. It’s near a small lake. I like to bring my computer and sit for hours. The cafe has an upstairs, which is an English center. In the evenings when the English center is open, there are people in the cafe. It’s a small, friendly place. Q. What would you like to spend more time…
Standing around at a bus stop may be a dangerous thing for me to do. When some bus comes, I may feel an urge to step onto it even though I don’t know where it goes. For now, I will get lost in the leaves. I will be gone in a book. I will ride my bicycle on the outskirts of town. Soon enough, I will be able to get on the bus. Q. where would you like to go?Q….
When you are walking or bicycling, you can see more of the world around you. Here is a sign that says, “hey this is a crosswalk. People are walking here. Slow down.” Here is a small lake with old men fishing. I hope I will be fishing when I am old. There are many things in the world which you can see when walking. Q. What is a mystery? Does your country have mysteries?Q. I hope that when I am…
After getting rained on a couple times, I finally decided to buy an umbrella. Today I used it for the first time. When you walk outside with an umbrella in the rain, it feels nice. The rain is nice to look at. The world looks different in the rain, and with an umbrella you can go out and see it. At the coffee shop I like to go to, there are big umbrellas to sit under. The storefront faces a…
This morning I picked up a beetle. I found it at the top of the stairs. The beetle was on its back. I touched it, and it climbed on my finger. It didn’t fly away after that. It stayed on my finger. I could wait at the bus stop and get on the bus. I don’t know where the bus is going. But I can go where it goes. I just want to get on the bus. Like the beetle….
Uh oh. You’ve been doing too much, and now it’s time to take a break. Take a break from coffee. Having coffee everyday will leave you exhausted and nervous. So drink tea, or better yet water for a few days, and catch up on sleep. You’ll feel better. Take a break from social media. It is a lot of information for our brains to process when we are scrolling through social media. It can become noisy in our heads. So…
I was going to do homework today, but instead I went for a long walk. It was worth it. It was worth it because I needed a break. I’ve been thinking about work a lot, and I needed to just put it out of my mind for a while. The long walk felt good. The weather was just lightly raining all day long. I listened to podcasts on my headphones as I was walking. Putting off work was worth it…
