"Well, well, well," said Sarah to herself, looking at the invite. A laugh, bright and loud, escaped her lips. She felt a sudden need to be *outside*.

She grabbed her keys and headed for the park. The trees were magnificent. She took a deep breath. She reached for her phone and started taking pictures of the scenery. She felt a burst of inspiration, her mind brimming with ideas for her photography blog.

When she got back home, she immediately started editing her photos. She was eager to share them. That evening, she decided she would have a party, invite all her friends. Everything seemed more open, more connected, than it had in a long time.
