Jump Back Up July: Let It Go
As you might have gathered from some of my other posts, I go crazy at little things at times; I worry about what other people make of me, and wonder if I'm bothering them with the slightest little thing, based on my own triggers.
I've been trying to let little things go today, all those things that other people probably forget about, and won't spend all day stewing about. Trying to do it as best as I can, but sometimes it can be difficult. Often there's the feeling that when I'm in an introverted mood, other people just want to approach me and say hello, and if I'm in a sociable mood, other people have become too introverted themselves.
Also, a young man who I've seen twice in the last few days, has been getting to me; both times he's been flying around the pavements on a scooter, as he did this morning when I was on my way back from the local shop. I've just been trying to not think about him, and move on.
I did manage to spot butterflies today, but most of them were way too fast for me to photograph (having to unlock my phone doesn't help). I managed this one, but could do with help identifying it, since I could only get a shot of its underside before it flew away.
I've taken a shot of this before, but this was good for photo_scavenger's "teddy bear" prompt.
I'm waiting until I get a better shot for my "forty" one; something less mundane.
The latest prompt is "plastic", in honour of Plastic-Free July.
The Plastic Free July Calendar suggest making home-made snacks; I tried this recipe.
Well, this was my output, and it earned the response "Oh Gavin...", which I'm not sure what to make of, except that maybe the other person isn't impressed - I need to let it go, let it go.
I wonder if I should scale up the ingredients so I can share with a bigger crowd?
On Strava, I have:
* Logged 19km for the R.A.D® "Shoe Addict" Challenge; and
* Climbed 1,187m for the July Run Climbing Challenge.
