Next time you’re at a loose end, skip the mall. Skip the same old coffee run. Head to Glovers. It’s on the way to nowhere special, which makes it exactly special. You might walk out with a single fish, a bag of pond food you don’t need yet, or just a good mood. That’s a win.
Bring a friend. Bring a kid. Or go alone. The fish won’t judge you, the reptiles will just look wise, and the water gardens will whisper, “Stay a while.” It’s an easy-going slice of life, and we could all use more of that.
