It was wonderful. I headed off on foot this morning armed with my laptop and camera and spent the morning at my favorite coffee shop, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.caffesola.ca\">Caffe Sola<\/a>. I then spent some time down by the river taking pictures &#8211; that part didn&#8217;t work out so well as I realized after the fact I had put the wrong memory card in the camera (I could take about six pictures and it would tell me the card was full). After that I had lunch at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.souleio.net\">Souleio Foods<\/a> and spent the rest of the afternoon there. <\/p>\n<p>As an introvert by nature I am perfectly happy to sit by myself and work on a project or do whatever. I completed the first draft of my business plan today (more on that topic later). And I re-watched a couple of great TED talks on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/brene_brown_on_vulnerability.html\">vulnerability<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/brene_brown_listening_to_shame.html\">shame<\/a>. I did some journaling as well. <\/p>\n<p>Overall it was a pleasant, slow-paced, relaxing day &#8211; just what I needed. The only problem is I have to go back to work tomorrow and after such a pleasant day I don&#8217;t want to go. I&#8217;d much rather hang out with myself for another week or two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a few emotionally stressful weeks at work I decided I would take today off as a &#8220;mental health day&#8221;.
