"The world belongs to the energetic." -- Emerson

Now that I have made a habit of morning pages, the next step is to add a "time out"  -- an hour or so a week for trying something new, an enjoyable adventure.  Not about self-improvement, but rather about  getting back a sense of wonder.  

We have a library foundation board retreat on Friday until mid-afternoon, so I'm going to plan this week's time out for the rest of the afternoon.  Perhaps a visit to Volunteer Park?  I haven't been in the conservatory or the museum itself in several years.
