Shake It Up
.
I saw this list in the July 2012 issue of Better Homes and Gardens magazine…”four ways to shake up your routine – and pocket greater happiness.” Some nice ideas to consider if you find yourself settled in your ways.
1. Make a new friend. As we get older, our social circles tend to shrink. Making new friends is a great way to break out of a rut.
2. Upgrade your style. Settling for the same look year after year can leave you looking and feeling tired. Step outside your comfort zone by getting a fresh haircut or donning a colorful scarf. It will give you a shot of confidence that brightens your entire outlook.
3. Pursue a second career. The profession you chose at 22 doesn’t have to last you through retirement.
4. Adopt a tricky hobby. Acquiring skills can soothe stress and sharpen thinking.

I like those suggestions! Sometimes something small can make a huge difference!
Number 2 would be difficult for a person who’s mostly worn jeans and birkenstocks since she was 16. I did colour my hair red for a while.
We LOVE your blog! We’re a bit behind with reading all our favourite blogs so we just all read your latest posts. Some great ideas and quotes. Love the bottle you are making. We bought a lovely Buddha for our garden yesterday. He’s living in the garage temporarily while we decide where his permanent home should be.
Love and licks and hopes for a peaceful weekend

SUCH good advice! I have found that changing style and taking up challenging hobbies is a wonderful way to keep the sparkle going in life. Making new friends is a lovely thing to do, too, but I’m very lazy about that – partly because I hate talking on the phone!
Good ideas.
Love the quote.
