30 minutes into what should have been a peaceful stroll around the park with my dog, I realized I’d been chattering in my head during the entire walk. I solved no problem. 10 minutes would have been more than enough. Next time, I’ll bring a stopwatch.
Keep it Together by Christopher David Ryan
Walking my dog at the first light of day, I shudder to think what I look like. Locks of hair stick straight up, my face is unwashed, flecked with day-old mascara. I’m in frayed, ill-matched, baggy sweats. When someone walks by, I don’t always make eye contact, given my state of disrepair. But I can’t get enthused about primping for the neighborhood. How much should we clean up before leaving the house?
