ILA Chicago day 2!

 Well I head home tomorrow. I'm filled with gratitude but also exhaustion. 🥱 I needed some solitude today after a full day of social input yesterday. So I people watched during my 4.5 mile walk around the Navy Pier and dinner. I saw a man propose to his now fiance, followed by a trolley of people screaming congrats from a road nearby. I then saw a rap video in the making. I saw people of many cultures just enjoying themselves. I loved it all. 

I took part in an author showcase this evening. It was loud, yet interesting. And now my social battery is officially depleted. 

Tomorrow I head home, the same way I left here 26 years ago. Just more clear-minded and grateful.
