"For a long time, I slotted my bazaar walks as a time-waster. Why, I didn't even have shopping to show for it!" .@suchiswriting #whyloiter #walking #women #tuesdaytakeover
And then I read "The Artist's Way" by Julia Cameron. She prescribes something she calls The Artist Date, a weekly date with, er, yourself. She writes: "The Artist Date is a once-weekly, festive, solo expedition to explore something that interests you." #theartistsway 
"The Artist Date need not be overtly 'artistic'– think mischief more than mastery. Artist Dates fire up the imagination. They spark whimsy. They encourage play."
"Since art is about the play of ideas, they feed our creative work by replenishing our inner well of images and inspiration."
"As a writer and photographer, I am deeply interested in people. But I am also an introvert and a homebody. Bazaars full of busy people give me a feeling of connection that feels light and simple. I can absorb myself into a wider world separate from work and family."
As I wander, my mind does too. And wandering, as I realise more and more in this pandemic, is critical to my happiness.
