I bought the Hero’s Journal Side Quest Deck. Basically, it helps you with ideas on things to do. You can look it up to understand what and how it works. The website is https://theherosjournal.co/products/istoria-magic-academy-sidequest-deck. You can also look it up on YouTube.
The description on their website states, “Feeling lost on your journey? Does it feel like you’re in a creative rut? Not sure what you should do on your quest? Introducing 52 side quests for your journey.
The Istoria Magic Academy SideQuest deck is a collection of cards designed to give you helpful things to do, when you may not know what to do.
The SideQuests are organized into 4 categories: Learn, Create, Rest, and Go.”

So I Tried it today. This is the card that I selected from the deck.

So… I went to Bigelow Hollow today located in Union CT. This state park has an adjoining Nipmuck State Forest spreading over 9,000 acres of lots of hiking trails and an 18-acre pond. I was informed the park offers activities include boating, cross country skiing, hiking, hunting, picnicking, pond fishing, scuba diving, and snowmobiling.
Of course, in hand I had a Dunkin vanilla bean Coolatta. Created with water, frozen coffee concentrate (water, sugar, coffee extract, caramel color, natural and artificial flavors) Light cream: milk, cream, disodium phosphate (stabilizer), sodium citrate (stabilizer). Mmhhh, it was very good. Especially, while it was in the 90’s today. Perfect choice of drink for me.
I actually floated for a while on inner tube and then nice walk back to car with floaties. Missed the lake smell…the grounds are amazing. My day was embraced with a warm sense of nostalgia, when I was a kid floating in a pond with no worries.
Then on the way home, stopped for tukey apple, brie, panini at Crossroads restaurant. Great food and service was amazing.
So that was my adventure for the day. I’m hoping it is one of many. I actually scheduled this time in for me. I’m finding it’s important to play from time to time, if you can. So maybe you can schedule some time for you in your hectic schedules.
Peace…
