On a Positive Note...

So today is my birthday. I'm off today, I have the entire day to myself everyone else I'd share it with is working or far away. I'm planning on a day of revitalization. Familiar haunts. It's nice to see people you know and who know you. First off the local farmers' market. I'm always inspired by other creative people in my community. I seem to absorb their positive vibes. It gives me energy. I've come to realize negative or emotionally charged people, places, and things drain me. Yes even places and things. There is energy held in places and things. It may be the feelings some things evoke but however it happens, it happens. I've been avoiding negativity for a few years now, I've been able to be so much more creative. My other plans on this special day is lunch at my favorite cafe and a walk at the beautiful botanical gardens at the university near by. I like walking on campus it reminds me of my university days, much simpler days, I just didn't know it then. The cafe I haunt is a small operation owned and operated by energetic young people. The food is made from local produce. It's a business with a conscious. Not the trendy kind of conscious, the real kind. It's cash only. The patrons are loyal, I can sit and knit while I wait and no one bats an eyelash. It's called "The Rolled Oat". It's a little place with a lot of heart. That's the plan, it's going to be a great day...
