I know it’s only been a week since I spoke about me being an impatient person, but I’m working on my patience. I’m sure you might agree that sitting at a stop sign or red light made you impatient too. Throughout this week I’ve decided to enjoy myself, take a walk or take in my scenery whenever I’m stuck somewhere. With the Lloyd Ex Fair in town, I’ve found myself with plenty of opportunities, the street behind the paper has been flooded with fair goers.
So now I calmly drive through the massive line of cars and enjoy the scenes around me. It’s nice to see people enjoying themselves on the various rides and seeing families so eagerly excited to get in. When I’ve been in other parts of the city, stuck in dense traffic, I’ve let my eyes wander around me. The beautiful blue skies in Lloyd are a sight to behold. We even got a pretty heavy rainstorm and some lightning, that was exciting to see. All in all, the change in my life to slow down and enjoy the moment has helped me appreciate what’s around me more. I even got to take a stroll past the parade when I was walking back from the curling centre.
Lloydminster’s surprised me with the sense of comradery the community shows and how tightly knit it is. Of course, I could spend hours complaining about the traffic or the drivers in town. But now, I think I’d rather take a moment out of my day to take in what’s around me and slow down a bit.
