What a hundred-year-old pram taught me about saying yes

I have to tell you what I did today.

I was pottering about on an online auction, and I saw the most beautiful old perambulator. I thought, oh, I do like that.

So I bid — no plan, no sense, just pure impulse. And then, it was mine. Actually mine.

Now, I can already hear you thinking 🤔— "Lindsay, what on earth has a hundred-year-old pram got to do with anything in this group?"

Honestly, in that moment, I hadn't the foggiest either. But isn't that so often the way? The things that feel the least relevant, the least sensible, the ones we nearly talk ourselves out of — they've a funny habit of turning out to matter more than we ever expected.

So go on then — when was the last time you said yes to something before you had the faintest idea why❓️
