It is really very simple to keep life from getting boring. We have the capacity to think new thoughts. God is the source of ongoing and infinite thought.

For the last seven years or so, I’ve been eating a salad for lunch. I shred carrots and beets onto a plate and add lettuce and grapes. Sometimes, I get tired of salad, but it’s good for me and I keep eating it, every day.

I went to visit my daughter and she mildly cooked up chopped vegetables. Carrots, kale, and sweet potatoes. It was delicious on top of lettuce.

Yesterday, I chopped carrots, beets, kale, and green pepper. I cooked the carrots and beets in olive oil for about ten minutes, then dropped in the kale and green pepper, so they wouldn’t get too cooked.

I now have this to top my lettuce with. It’s a little different, but not really, all reminding me that newness is possible and life can be fun.

Quoting from science & religion to God

Why not have the attitude that soaks up the radiance of Soul and appreciates each year’s unfolding of wisdom, aplomb, and holiness? Why not shape our views of existence into loveliness, newness, and continuity, rather than into doom and gloom?
