A number of small things are percolating away in the background of life right now. Well, some are hardly small but rather quite flipping substantial life changers - and yet, they are a constant background white noise of sorts, because the every day mundane has a bit more volume and intensity about it.
Somehow, in spite of myself perhaps, one of the background simmers is this notion of taking a small bold step toward... whatever. Toward recreation and exercise and feeling free (bikes), as one example. Two bike rides down, years to go - but I will say, that on each of those two rides I have had moments of pure bliss and gratitude that we took the leap and bought the bikes and said, yes we will now start riding mountain bikes together.
Two new shirts - that fit, flatter, are cozy as hell, and that I quite like - leap away. Serious consideration to another one while there is a lovely sale in place - giant step. But good. Feeling hesitant about purchasing pants, but really, self: the two pairs of dress pants in the closet are, in fact: #1 the wrong size and thus a slightly loose and unflattering fit; #2 too high waisted and make you at least FEEL like you look weird, even if no one is particularly noticing and assessing and deciding that you look weird; #3 purchased over 2 years ago so what the heck do they owe you at this point? So, sale? Buy one get half off a second? JUMP.
Polish the darn shoes. Be an adult and embrace your life, girl. Two weeks to narrow down pictures for the haircut - so do it. Articulate the result, find the photos, jump.
Be like the game of old - giant steps - gain ground and laugh.
