GimmeMedals Feb 2021 10:07am, 17 Feb 2021 19,852 posts	Quote Pin GimmeMedals The observing things en route can be the newt, thanks Sharkie. I'm already going out once a day for a run, walk or (since yesterday) a bike ride. I've taken to listening to podcasts or audiobooks when out so I'll leave the headphones at home and listen to nature.

BaronessBL Feb 2021 10:18am, 17 Feb 2021 8,735 posts	Quote Pin BaronessBL CC2 New things don't have to be big things and can be new for this spring so if you have a tree near you that always comes into blossom in the spring the day you first see it this spring can be that day's new thing.
Sharkie Feb 2021 10:24am, 17 Feb 2021 17,301 posts	Quote Pin Sharkie You don't have to do a New Thing every day, CC but it's surprising how many things occur once you get going. The things don't have to be big - start a new book, listen to some new music ( I listened to the entire top thirty last year - not all at once - something I probably hadn't done since my early teens. It was interesting if not always life enhancing exactly.) It can also be noticing stuff - first time this year you see certain flowers, or trees come into leaf. Eat something new, turn your work space around, do something with your 'wrong' hand. Throw something away - creates new space after all.

Maintained by Sharkie

The sixth running of Do a New Thing for Spring

Lent has a special and specific meaning to Christians but has become an secular season of denial and hair shirting that serves no positve purpose. No chocolate, no booze, no -er - other stuff.

Why not treat the build up to Easter - as a chance to celebrate and embrace NEW THINGS - that's what spring is about after all.

The first few pages of the thread give more ideas.
