Growing up in Madison as you have, have you looked at the beauty of the buildings and houses. We had lived here for about 35 years before I have truly enjoyed the structures by looking up. Along the river, how beautiful it has become. I remember the days of the river terminal bringing in coal, salt and shipping out grain. I remember the old scrap and junk yards in the pre 80’s. It has become beautiful lined with beautiful antique street lights, benches to admire the beauty and all the over looks and sides of brick. Now, we love to go downtown and look up at the craftsmanship of the 1800’s.
I almost said I don't habituate but of course that isn't so. I am iintentional unless it's a regular visit. Then I could not tell you how I got from point A to B. I make it a point to regularly be intentional. If I get stuck in a construction zone I check out the machines. I might be accused of tootliing on the highway... I guess it is an old lady thing. I try to take it all in. I may never pass this way again. I don't want to miss a thing.
I love this. While I was writing, I started thinking about all the ways I habituate during the day and miss opportunities. You’re exactly right in our need for intentionality. I hope you are doing well!
Go eat lunch at Mason’s Drive In, the White Steamer (think Hinkles), or Reid’s Deli. You can also do the Gasthof in Montgomery if you’re hungry for fried chicken or noodles.

Ah! Someone from the area! I love it! Where did you live, Heather?
This is so good! I'm still marveling at the mountains in Colorado. May I never get "used" to seeing them!
