Day 42: Walk Barefoot in the Grass

I liked this task. I've never actually thought about the feeling of grass underneath my bare feet before. I actually did the task about 30 minutes ago, so it was already dark outside, and I liked it that way because it added more to the affect. I've been sooooo stressed out this week with college crap and senior project crap and all this other crap that just taking a second to go outside, close my eyes, and feel the grass beneath my feet was so refreshing. It sounds corny, but it really was. I walked really slowly around my yard, and since it was dark the grass had already cooled off, and it almost felt a little damp. Usually I would worry if I was about to step on a bug or a sharp stick (or even the occasional pile of dog crap, which isn't a rarity in my front yard) but I didn't worry about it at all. I was feeling really good until I realized there was a man and a woman walking their dog and they must have thought I was either a poor blind girl lost in the dark or a mentally handicapped person. I'm not even kidding. I was walking reallllly slowly so that I would really concentrate on feeling the grass, and I had my eyes closed, and I was kind of zigzagging all over my front yard, and I also had my arms out in front of me a little just in case I fell. So I guess maybe I looked like I was sleepwalking too. Nonetheless, that kind of killed the peaceful mood for me.

Now it's time to go back to all of my SYS (senior year shit). Oh, the joy.
