Creek Running North

1) Go for a walk.
2) Call someone you haven’t talked to in a while.
3) Search the back of your refrigerator for items you’d forgotten you had back there, take the ones that are still good, cook something inventive, and invite a friend over.
4) Read a book, whether it’s by me or someone else.
5) Take a nap.
6) Find a nearby wilderness, arboretum, botanic garden, commercial nursery, hardware store bedding plant section, or unkempt vacant lot and consider the lilies.
7) Go to a local café, diner, donut shop, or the equivalent, get something to drink, and people watch.
8) Take a notepad along on #7. Write or sketch something. If you’re better at writing, draw. If you’re better at drawing, write. If you excel at both, sing.
9) Buy a bag of dog biscuits and take them to the animal shelter. Tell them ”Zeke sent me.”
10) Do something that will actually make a difference in the world.
