Perhaps we would watch the waiting sky and drink the tea slowly. The afternoon can change with the weather. I do not want to manufacture a mood. Company comes first.

On “Watch rain and write a few lines together”, I like the idea, but I cannot promise to turn up. Can I stay in the conversation without saying yes? The practical limit is that I need step-free venues for in-person plans.

I do not need everyone to choose the same version. I want to keep “Watch rain and write a few lines together” manageable for the people involved. Yes. Staying curious is enough for now. I would rather have an honest maybe than a yes that makes someone uncomfortable.

I would also like to find a quiet café with clear information about busy times. For me, I need step-free venues for in-person plans. That is how I see “Watch rain and write a few lines together”.

I want a friend to sit with my sister and me under our covered doorway when the weather permits, sharing tea and a few lines about what we see. We can arrange another quiet afternoon if rain does not come. The company matters.

Thảo Phạm, would you put this on LinkedIn, or would that make a small personal wish feel like a work achievement?
Reply to Nicole da Mata
For this wish, Nicole da Mata: I would share a useful lesson there only if I wanted that audience. I do not want every pleasant activity to become evidence of professional productivity.

Thảo Phạm, no promises, but maybe.

For this wish, Nicole da Mata: Yes. I want to keep track of what was workable, what took more effort than expected and what I would leave out next time.
