    • An Adventure to Devon Avenue

      Inhibition: To take trips of exploration on days I have to work.

      Betty’s Response: There’s this thing called a watch that, when used properly, will ensure you’ll be at work on time.

      Experience: Over the years I think I’ve missed a lot of opportunities to enjoy new experiences on days I work…mostly because I’m nervous I’ll be late to my job however, today I’m ready to challenge this frame of mind. It’s about 8 miles to a section of Devon Avenue I want to explore so I’m off!

      I had so much fun checking out all the unique items Patel Bros. gift store at 2600 Devon Ave. Here I was careful to not loose track of time.

      All this exploring led to delicious meal of Madrasi chicken at the Curry Bowl.

      And finally home, on time, with my goods and a big smile on my face from an awesome day!

      And finally I’m home, on time, with my varied goods and a big smile on my face from an awesome day!

      What I didn’t know: That you don’t have to wait for your day off to enjoy new experiences. I also didn’t know how satisfying and fulfilling your entire day is when there’s a balance of work and fun!

      So Betty and I are off but before we go we’re extending to you a great big invitation to get out there and SHOW ME WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW!!!!!
