Infinite Variety - That's what life is all about - but it doesn't have to be big things.
One of my greatest pleasures is to 'do coffee' or 'do lunch' A variation on this is to 'do drinks', which we do each month after our Gold Coast Writers Club meeting. Exciting conversations and networking result from these social exchanges.
I was at a business conference one time and we were all asked to tell the group what we did. One lady stood up and said 'I do lunch'. She won a book prize for the best description of what her occupation was about.
Doing Lunch
Doing lunch, to me, means meeting somebody interesting and sharing a thumbnail of their life.
The lady I met yesterday had spent many years in the Northern Territory as a nurse, living on a cattle station, and also working for the NT Aerial Medical Service - often known as The Flying Doctor.
She gave me her fascinating perspective on station and aboriginal life, and some of the life-threatening and life-saving situations she had been in.
I lived for more than 40 years in Australila's Northern Territory so could understand and capture some of the atmosphere of the stories, but my life was a more urban one in a small gold mining town.
Contrasts
I was energized by this exchange. I could capture some of the excitement and drama of another person's existence in the vast outback, while I sipped coffee and ate delicious citrus tarts with cream, on a deck in tropical surroundings of the Gold Coast city.
While we have our minds with which to travel, our senses to appreciate the moment and our emotions to connect with another person there is no reason to be bored or lacking in energy.
We can create our own variety - the spice of life and live with energy every day.
Live with Energy
