Found my Sit-Spot

I think I've found my sit spot for the 30 day challenge I'll be doing so I stay sane this May.

I thought about making it in fish creek park, but in the end decided against it - it will be too hard to get there every day. I needed somewhere closer, but still with at least a bit of privacy, and the possibility of sharing it with animals.

The spot is far from ideal, but it's a spot that's nearby (less than a minute away), and there's grass and trees and bushes. There's near-constant traffic off to the right, and even at night it's not nearly dark (the lights from nearby buildings are quite blinding in fact), but it's a spot. Interestingly, although I found a spot that seemed more likely to have animals around (there are more bushes for cover, a view of an open field, and a dumpster nearby), I wasn't comfortable there. Too much human traffic I guess. The area I ended up with feels more calm and relaxing to me. It's set a little back from all the apartments, near the fence that is the border between our admin office and the parking lot of the adjacent condos.

 It feels quiet, and there's a big tree there that has some presence to it. Even if I don't see any animals there, I'll still feel connected, which is kind of why I wanted to do this in the first place. It was never the animals I connected to before anyway. It was the trees, and the feeling of being rooted in a place - the connection my feet feel.

 I only spent 10 minutes there today, but I look forward to spending more time there. I'll try to post a picture of the spot later :)
