keeping things fresh

driving a different way to work.  visiting another town.  living in someone else's space.  all examples of deviating from the usual routine. or should i say living a life that purposefully incorporates the routine of freshness?  for we can also be tourists within our own routines:  all of the familiarity AND new eyes too.  taking time to photograph objects in the changing winter light.  picking something on the menu that you don't usually try.  making an adventure out of the smallest things.  what does vacation mean to you?
