Shake up your day


How easy it is to just automatically float through our day, knowing we are bored but just watching the hours pass. Today I could have easily followed that road but instead I chose to shake up my day and do something new. Thinking about my options I decided on a visit to an art gallery. This is something I haven't done for a very long time, my wife Kathleen and I spent hours admiring the paintings and the skill it takes to create such a wonderous thing.

By stepping out of our automatic state we can re-engage with the world and expand our day, why not try it next time you are slipping into the realm of boredom, go do something you don't normally do. Take your curiosity and sense of adventure with you, don't pre-judge the trip go with an open mind and really pay attention, you may well be surprised at the outcome.

Our trip was free, you will be surprised what is on your doorstep.
