Asymmetry

Today, let's be asymmetrical as we have never been
                 before
                           Let's listen to a music station we haven't enjoyed prior to
                               today
                                Let's eat at that restaurant our friends recommended;
                                                we
                                                  can order some exotic dish that we never
                                                             have
                                      Let's go enjoy that museum we've been to almost
                                                                     never
                 Let's attend a lecture at our neighborhood library we don't go to
                                                                       much
                 Let's pay a friendly visit to that uncle whose politics we've never
                                                                       embraced
                              Let's put on our bathing suits and lie in the shade for a
                                                                    change -
               Let's volunteer at a soup kitchen and feel good about doing some
                                                             good
                           Let's put our creativity berets on, and write a song in 5/4
                                                time
                                After that, we can join a fund-raising walk-a-thon just
                                       for
                  the love of humanity! When we get home I think it would be
                           a
      nice gesture to call customer service and say "Just sending you a verbal
              hug!"

before today we have never much embraced change - good time for a hug!
