Different

What could you do differently?

I liked the different responses to this prompt.

I could approach this topic as a fix what’s broken or not working dive into my life or as some people have done, as a way to brainstorm about what things I want to just do in a different way. As in, I do many things differently than the norm, but what else is there to try some other approaches at?

I like the later. I do plenty of things ‘differently’. I was a fan of Pippi Longstocking because she embodied that. I’m always drawn to the unique and unusual, but at the same time I want things to make sense. I like when life and all its doings are efficient and simple. At least the practical things, like dishes and bed making, (and look nice , that’s important to me too).

I happen to like when things are different. I like the novel and unexpected. I may like the idea of routine, I just dont naturally fall into them. Anything I do regularly, has taken time and intent and strong focus to maintain. I dont know what I’m doing from one minute or hour to the next, some days and this doesn’t bother me. I have no grocery shopping day or laundry day, I can eat whenever. Answering questions like What is your plan ?” has been challenging at times, but I do have one, lately it has an unusual amount of flexibility built into it, because it has to.

My answer to what can be done differently is everything. Every single thing can be done in a different way. When I think about that, it makes me happy.
