Last night I went out in the afternoon. I met a couple friends a few hours later. There was a dj and music in a park near the main library. It was really fun. There were a few people to start and it grew to a nice amount. We stayed until the live music and went somewhere we could have a conversation.

I learned a few things yesterday I have reflected on. One is to do things I enjoy even if it is by myself. It may not always be fun but it often is better than expected.

Going out with friends is one of my favorite things. I need to do it more often and say yes to more things with music.

Go outside and take at least a 15 minute walk every day, which will often turn into more. Go in a different direction or the same and there is always something new to see. The season changes the way it looks, maybe a slightly different path is discovered, and listening to music helps.

Ride my bicycle more. There are so many bicycle paths and I can see different things. My cousin lives just 8 minutes away and there are so many options. I have the perfect opportunity to explore right now. The weather has been mild but that is how I like it. Not to warm, not too cold. Lagom, the perfect balance. It is a great Swedish word.

Eat better for myself. Cooking for myself can be a treat not a chore. Enjoy trying new recipes and eating healthier foods for myself not because someone is making me or I am on a special diet but enjoying good food should be a pleasure. I should do more of it for myself. I need to be enjoying myself and take responsibility for my own actions. It all plays a part and I sometimes need reminding.
