A lot of your suggestions remind me of things I already do...number 1 reminds me of the time me and my husband picked a restaurant from the internet, the comments were all very positive about the food so we dressed up and went there one day. Turns out it was more like a neigbourhood cafeteria then a restaurant and we stood out like sore thumbs because we were waaay overdressed. The food, however, was brilliant and we had a great time and it's still a memory we think of fondly. Number 2 reminds me of the times we take a camera to document our life for family back home. As I'm from Holland and my husband from Aussie, no matter where we live, there's always 'family back home' so we end up taking lots of photos of 'mundane' things and writing descriptions about it, and yeah, it does keep you in the moment and all that. Number 6 reminds me of the Scrubs episode where Zach Braff orders a box of kittens in an emergency. At least he does in his head. Ever since that episode when my husband or I feel lousy or anything we call out "Bring out the box of kittens. Stat!" Great post!

Reminds me of the time I came back from Japan - everything about home just seemed new and alive and I realized it wasn't anything about home or Japan - it was the attitude of wonder I was suddenly living in.

As busy as I am lately, this is a must for me. While a I don't know much about meditation, I have a feeling that these two approaches share some benefits.

One of the upshots of traveling is coming back to your home and seeing the familiar anew. To do that w/o actually going anywhere is a challenge, but very wortwhile. I will take this message to heart and give it a try. Great posts today Senia. One of the upshots of traveling is coming back to your home and seeing the familiar anew.
