Is your city as cool as Minneapolis??
Minneapolis hosts an annual “Cat Tour.”
Neighbors put their cats in the window and crowds show up in droves to admire them and show respect.
It’s been going on for 8 years.
I find it helps to develop an interest in things. Visit museums, hit up the library and discover-browse. Read widely. Learn new languages, new words. Watch old films. The world is a wondrous place but the sense of wonder is a muscle that must be cultivated like any other.
