An Enormous Wheel

Do you ever feel like you are in a rut with sides so steep you marvel at the size of the wheel that made it?

I have been feeling that way recently.

So, I came up with a few ways to beat the monotony of this rut. (Note: you may not want to try some of these activities at home.)

Make a yummy dessert (and then eat it)


Make a small fire


Or a very large one


Have a piano recital (or do some gold digging)

Make a phone call

And, since I found this pretty spectacular quote about embracing repetition, I thought I'd share:

The divine delight in what seems to us to be mere repetition is one clue to the sublime character of God. Since we must, at times, accept what appears to us to be routine, repeated experiences, we too, if we try, can find fresh meaning and fresh joy in the repeated experiences. God’s course is one eternal round but it is not one monotonous round. God is never bored, for one who has perfect love is never bored. There is always so much to notice, so much to do, so many ways to help, so many possibilities to pursue
--Neal A. Maxwell

So, what do you do to break up the monotony of your life, or have you learned the secret of enjoying routine? (If so, please share.)
