How was your Labor Day weekend? Mine was great! I was able to visit a friend I don’t get to see often enough. I left my coastal town in Connecticut to spend some time at my friend’s log cabin in Dutchess County, New York. Though my usual time off is spent at the beach, my Labor Day off was spent in the woods!
Changing up surroundings is great for a change in perspective. Once I recognized this fact, it seemed I had examples of perspective changes all around me this weekend!
Did the yellow watermelon make you look twice? Great example, right? (This was purchased at a farmer’s market over the weekend – very juicy and very yummy!)
Probably the best example I found of a perspective change though; was on our hill walk. That’s right – not a mountain – just a small hill! You might think climbing a hill barely worth the time, but you know what? A walk up this hill – a mere 550 feet above the Hudson River – created an amazing change in perspective.
Just with this little shift in elevation from the top of the hill, a whole new perspective came into view – the Catskill, Taconic, and Berkshire Mountain ranges as well as much of the Hudson River Valley!
I am proposing that you create a little change in your own perspective. Something as simple as changing your usual route to work can be amazing! Give it a try! Be inspired to create a little change in your perspective this week.
Thanks for stopping by! Remember to take pleasure in simple things, Jackie
