This morning: gardening. I decided to try and clear a bit of the front garden that is getting overgrown with brambles and things. But first I had to take a photo of this:
This afternoon I took Toby for a walk in the shade of the woods. It was a bit longer than I intended because I let Toby lead the way, which meant taking the path much less travelled and very over-grown with ferns, which made me worry about ticks. For some reason I associate ticks and ferns.
It was also longer because I missed the turning on the way back and ended up having to go all the way back to the top of the mountain (okay, hill but it felt like a mountain) instead of following the mid-way path across. At least it gave me time to think and come up with an idea for, and start composing my next article for Bay.
But tonight we are definitely going to be spontaneous and go to the steak house.
Oh yes, and I read an article yesterday with a different viewpoint on rejections. It goes something like this: set yourself a target of 100 rejections in a year because it means you will keep submitting and some are almost bound to succeed. Also focuses your mind differently, to think of a rejection as another one towards your goal.
Hm, maybe.

I don't like that advice. It sounds like expecting failure will bring success. Or that there's some secret algorithm bringing success closer with each stumble. Nah. It's a long-exploded theory of sales.
I don’t know about that advice either. It is different for sure.
Fall leaf? Not yet please summer hasn't even started here

I like that you plan a spontaneous outing :)
I think setting a goal of so many rejections per year is a great idea -- achievement is achievement!
I was thinking what Ann was thinking. 😇
Enjoy your long weekend, which I think is longer than our long weekend. 😀
