CHANGE THAT COMMON TASK
You will gain a new zest for the daily task if you sometimes break away from the time-tables of life. When you feel exhausted and doneup with “the trivial round,” there are many little ways in which you can break the monotony. Method is a wonderful help in carrying out one’s daily duties, but now and again it does one good to break away from the time-tables of life! The world will still go on even if we make buns on Tuesday afternoons instead of Friday mornings; the universe will still exist if we turn out the sitting-room on Wednesday and the bedroom on Thursdays, instead of the other way about! It is strange what tiny things will silver a cloud of workaday gloom; it may only be a visit from a friend — or a jaunt to the nearest field to chat with the buttercups! Sometimes it rests us to close our eyes for ten minutes. Another time it refreshes us to buy a few early roses for the tea-table! And find a little space for book-friends—for they bring relaxation and change of scene and thought as we wing away to fresh brain-pictures—leaving the way-worn tracks for a little while untrod!
