Seldom do I get a chance to
play tourist in my hometown. I went out to one of the touristy neighborhoods
in Vancouver. I had my Ethiopian shawl on. Strangely enough, my Ethiopian
outfit was not a show stopper. Other than a few stares from the very young and
very old, I blended in well with the visiting crowd.
Last month I tried out a new
recipe twice and was unsuccessful both times. I tweaked it a little bit this
time and voila, I did it. I suppose doing a visualization exercise prior to
cooking really helped.
Last week I was helping a
few people with various tasks and errands. I had many loose ends because of the
disruptions in my regular schedule. Today I was able to catch up. I felt
particularly accomplished when I finally finished reading a book about recent
social phenomena.
Our society prefers
outgoing, extroverted people. People often carry the misconception that
introverted people are sad and lonely. I am introverted and prefer to spend time
by myself. I believe that personal development comes from the periodical practice of reflection and conscience examination. Today I am happy to be able to do just
that.
