DON’T LET ‘NORMAL’ BECOME MUNDANE
After watching a cooking show on the science of our senses and how they all dull when repeatedly stimulated the same way, I realised ’change’ is the key most people are missing, to fully appreciating the world around them.
The longer you hear something, the less you hear it, like the whine of children, the drone of traffic, the nagging of a spouse or the compliments of friends
The longer you smell something, the less you smell it, like perfume on your neck, the smoke in a room, fresh flowers or your own BO
The longer you taste something, the less you taste it, like too much of your favorite food or a peace of chewing gum.
If we don’t change, if we don’t continually challeng ourselves the world around us becomes numb and mundane and we literally don’t see what is really there
The spark of life never goes – Only our ability to see it

INSPIRATION – From others making their own Life Change
I got this email today from someone who decided to make their own life change experiment \
Thought i would share……….
We have had our own life change experiment so to speak -
My husband gave up his full time job in Dec to become a volunteer in the Community -
We are so excited at the doors that have opened for us regarding people in our Community! I am a full time mum but my working background is fundraising and promotional work, and this month we are busy moving people from homes, doing garage sales at our place, and different fundraising events.
We have built up a network of families with children with disabilities who ring us when they need help or advice or just support and we run barbecues at our place monthly
Anthony helps with tip runs, mowing lawns and general maintenance and it’s fab because some of the women have suffered abuse from partners but they trust both Ant and myself!
We are excited because we want to make a difference
