Today is November 4th, 2013. The only November 4th, 2013 that will ever exist in all of time. Isn't that beautiful? We will never be able to live this day or moment again however millions of us will treat it like any other day. Heck, I will treat it like any other day. But perhaps it is important to think about how precious each moment is in our lives. How are we thinking, what are we doing, do we love it, or are we left feeling empty? I know it's a lot of thinking for a crisp November Monday but thinking in this way makes me appreciate the things around me. For instance, the curly haired and colorful shoed guy sitting next to me doesn't realize I am appreciating the sound of his keyboard tapping fingers. Or Ray Charles can't understand that his melodious tunes are making me smile and wonder why everyone's feet are not tapping to his tune. This lack of understanding about everything around me is incredible and oddly comforting. The fact that none of us are certain about anything at all make us all equal. Now you might be thinking, does this have anything to do with eating local? And the answer is maybe.
What if we denied social norms. We didn't fall into the trap of what we were told to do. If we have a song stuck in our heads why not sing it? If we feel like dancing why not show the world our awesome dance moves? Instead we give these people weird looks and judgements. So today instead of doing the norm try out something different...eat new foods, take a new route to work or class, and most of all make yourself and others happy! Happy Monday!
