Same 8 Blocks

I have been starting my day with an exercise to notice something different.

I walk the same 8 blocks to get to the place where I work.

While walking along those blocks I had gotten bored

To relieve the dreariness I have been seeking at least one new item daily.

This could be a bit of graffiti, a partly dead tree, a sticker on a traffic pole, etc.

When I seek then I find at least one item and often more.

There is so much around us that we miss.

Yet seeking and diligence will reveal odd and interesting items.

This makes my commute interesting and keeps me alert.

This could work while driving too.

It might make the daily commute more interesting.

It could improve mindfulness.
