My latest adventure is foraging. On one of my daily walks by myself, I noticed a bunch of black berry bushes ripe to be picked. Since I'm not the GM of the Kings, I dont have to get all my fruit at the store, because I know how to pick em. So I took a ziploc bag and picked a sizeable amount of berries. I've been hooked ever since.

I would like to continue foraging at UC Berkeley. The thing is, the main cluster of blackberry bushes are located off the beaten path and are best accessed by standing in a shallow creek that runs through the centre of campus. This is no problem, I can get rain boots, but I decided I would like to minimize my time standing in the creek. The best way to do that is to free up my other hand by getting a wearable basket. I struggled for a few days to find one that wouldn't stand out like a sore thumb, and then I realised I could just get a canvas bag and blend right in with everyone else. I can't wait to put this plan into action.

Hi Garrett,

Thank you for the comment--Ha! Your Kings joke cracked me up! I love the image of you foraging on Berkeley's campus...what better way to make fiends?! Does this mean you got in? Regardless, I hope you keep foraging wherever you land. Such a great way to bring a little adventure into everyday life.

I love the idea of a gratitude journal putting someone outside their comfort zone

Sometimes the simplest acts give us just the push we need. Humans are all wired so differently.

I love this, Georgine! Thank you for introducing e-foiling which I’m eager to try as well. And the falling is part of trying new things💙

Hi Aysu, Thank you for your comment. Foiling is so fun (and a little addicting) I hope you give it a try! 😀
