I was walking today down to the Lido and not being as mindful as I promised myself to be. Instead I was doing something on my phone but was aware of someone passing me which is not unusual. When I'd finished and took in my surrounds again I was aware it was a lone female who had passed. This made me change what I was doing. I slowed and allowed a distance to build. It's a narrow walled path about a third of a mile long. A single path. I don't particularly like having someone walking behind me so will usually either slow down or speed up. For a single female I would imagine it's a lot worse. I put my wife and daughters in that position and hope any male would do the same. Thankfully she was a quick walker so it wax not long before she was out of sight.
There was a question on my mind. Stupid maybe. I'm not sure. Had she been through a hard time? Lots of pink. Pink football kits are usually in support of a particular charity. Pink has come to mean more than a colour. My youngest daughter used to love pink and live in pink when she was young. A lot to do with the Super Mario character Princess Peach. Was this lone female just a lover of the colour or was it something sadder?
I'll never know and nor do I need to know. It's just the monologues that happen in my head sometimes. Those are a good thing. If they happen then there are no alarm bells and no fear. They are normal. I need normal to get better. It's a good sign.
