This morning, the sun was beaming through the window. As I opened the door and headed out to work, I felt the cool breeze mingle with the warm sunshine. I was in a really good mood.
Last night, I had a dream that I went back on flannelbook and accidentally clicked a button that made me 'like' everything. I don't know if that's even possible - I'm talking about liking every thing there was to be liked. Imagine. I woke up as a million notifications came flooding in.
It has made me think though - what if you made a conscious effort to 'like' all the things you don't like? What new experiences and tastes would be opened up? What would you try that you'd never dreamed of trying? How differently would you treat people?
Here's my thought: if love is a verb, then maybe 'like' can be more of an active verb too, instead of a reaction. Maybe you can be proactive about the things you choose to 'like'.
I walked into the Co-Op on my way, looking for granola pots to take to work for breakfast. One 100g tub of 'low fat' yoghurt and granola contained 27g of sugar! It's enough to make old Uncle Ben's hair turn white. In the end I bought some fruit and happily walked off to work, thinking about all the things I don't like about it that I could try to like.
By the time I got to the lake, I'd run out of fingers and toes. The sun sparkled across the blue water and the geese honked happily on the grass. I had a little chuckle to myself.
