Day 154.  Yes I did.  Thankyouverymuch.  Today I tackled a homework assignment:  go on a date with yourself.  Awesome!  Me time!  Little does the person who assigned this homework know that I take myself I dates 4/7 days a week.  I love doing things for me.  But today’s quote card said to “forget yourself.”  Ahh, inquiry.  It’s so confusing and contradictory yet it makes perfect sense, because really, we don’t know all the answers.  We can ask the questions in good company, and then let it go.  So I decided to do something that involves engagement of history, knowledge, other people, while fully taking advantage of this sunny 55 degree day in January.  I got dressed up in a skirt and tights (for me) and rode the bus downtown to the Gerald R. Ford Museum to learn about someone and something other than me.  Learning and connecting with the history of Ford and the impact he’s made on Grand Rapids, Michigan, and this whole country was enormously humbling.  Yet, I am no different than him.  We are both people.  And I can have the same impact on the world as him.  Who’s stopping me?  Besides myself.  My “me” date continued throughout the day, with several guest appearances from different friends.  I re-read this card several times and appreciated the connections I was having with people at the exact second I was having them.  My last stop of the day included beers and fancy cheese with Emilie at Brewery Vivant, and that is where I left the card.  Now I am going to “forget myself’ some more and fall into the second book of The Hunger Games series, Catching Fire.
