Last week, in the class I'm teaching, I gave some homework assignments. A couple of them were:
- Read something positive every day.
- No matter what your financial circumstances are, have fun without spending (much) money.
- Admire something somebody else has. Don't covet it. Just enjoy it.
I had the opportunity to do the all of these during the week. My boyfriend and I visited a close friend of his for a few days at his high rise condo on the beach. Do you know how to tell if you're entering a swanky apartment? Double doors. His unit covers the width of the building. You could play football in the living room. This couple (she was not there) is in no way pretentious. They're kind and gracious people who happen to have a really cool place and love to share it with friends.
So we had a great visit and I was able to admire the surroundings without burning with envy.
We had class again last night. We closed early so that whoever wanted to could walk the two blocks (with us) to the park where the Orlando Philharmonic was doing their annual show, "Hooray for Hollywood."
It was great and it was free. But we're sending them a donation.
