New experiences

"We never step in the same river twice," Proverb.

I love the wisdom found in proverbs.  Some people carefully craft their lives to avoid new and unusual experiences.  Perhaps that is what schedules are for.  But, I think, we may want to be careful to not become complacent about our life and our life experiences.  Enthusiasm about life can serve us well, and a supporter of enthusiasm is to view each life experience anew.  Even if we are doing the same task as we did yesterday, such as making the bed, we can know for certainty that this is not exactly the same as yesterday.  Perhaps there is a breeze today, perhaps we feel an ache in our bodies that was not there yesterday, perhaps we are thinking thoughts of hope that are new to us.  Let us approach each moment of our day knowing that it is an opportunity for a new experience for us.
