It’s A New Day. Every Day.

Such as it is, I’ve been doing things differently. I mean, every day. Every day I do at least one thing differently. I’ve been doing this, for about a month or so, in an attempt to broaden my mind, experience or just my sensibilities, I suppose.

It seemed to be a good thing for me to do as I tend to be somewhat inflexible about life. And, life? Yeah, life is quite flexible. So, I thought it’d do me well.

It has. Whether it’s a small thing or something really big, doing something different every day has infused my life with a new energy. It’s opened my mind a lot. A whole lot.

Sadly, I’ve spent most of my life mired in the yuck of “sameness”. Really, I have. Not surprising to me as I spent a significant number of years just surviving. That’s not where I’m at now though and I need and want to take advantage of that.

The old thinking is out and the new thinking is in. Not sure that the new thinking is past “doing something different” but that’s good enough for me. For the moment anyway.

It’s working too. Very happy about that. Welcoming new things into my life has not, traditionally, been an easy thing. It’s common now, though, and that is wonderful. Might even be terrific, but wonderful will do for now.

Better yet? I’ll do something different tomorrow. Not sure what that’ll be, but I’m ready.

It just too bad that this new energy hasn’t yet resulted in entertaining updates. Perhaps, that’ll come later. I can always hope. Hope springs eternal, you know?

your thoughts?
