A CHANGE IS AS GOOD AS A REST!

Time away from any normal routine sheds some light on life. A week's vacation, a weekend, dinner out or going to a new park for a long walk can give a refreshing new outlook on life. Routines are good as they allow us to get many mundane activities accomplished. But being stuck in a routine stifles creativity and can make life boring! Little changes- like rhubarb-ginger ice cream on a recent road trip! Goat cheese appetizer for part of my dinner! Trying a new farmer's market! Babysitting the grandchildren over dinner rather than first thing on a Saturday morning! What changes have you tried lately? Do you own your routines or they own you?
