a NEW thought Thursday

Happy Thursday!

I love the idea of having experiences that are so great people can’t put them into words. I wondered what some of those experiences might be, so after I created this image (with AI), I had AI come up with some ideas for such experiences. Here’s what it came up with:

*****

  • Experiencing nature in all its glory. Seeing the Grand Canyon for the first time, hiking to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, or swimming with dolphins are all experiences that can leave you speechless.
  • Witnessing a powerful work of art. Visiting the Louvre Museum, seeing the Mona Lisa in person, or attending a concert by your favorite band are all experiences that can move you on a deep emotional level.
  • Connecting with a loved one on a profound level. Falling in love, having a child, or sharing a moment of deep grief with a close friend are all experiences that can create an unbreakable bond between two people.
  • Achieving a personal goal that you have worked hard for. Graduating from college, getting your dream job, or winning a marathon are all experiences that can bring a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment that is hard to describe.
  • Making a difference in the world. Volunteering your time to help others, starting a charity, or making a scientific breakthrough are all experiences that can give you a sense of purpose and meaning in life.

Here are some more specific examples:

  • Seeing the Northern Lights dance across the sky
  • Witnessing a birth or a death
  • Experiencing a deep religious or spiritual awakening
  • Coming close to death and then surviving
  • Helping to save someone’s life
  • Overcoming a major challenge or obstacle
  • Falling in love at first sight
  • Having a mystical or paranormal experience
  • Witnessing a natural disaster or other awe-inspiring event
  • Traveling to a new and exotic country
  • Learning a new language or culture
  • Meeting someone who changes your life

Ultimately, the experiences that are so great that people can’t put them into words are the ones that touch us on a deep level and leave us feeling changed forever. They are the experiences that make us feel alive, connected to the world around us, and grateful for all that we have.

What do you think? Pretty accurate?

What NEW experience would you like to have that you might not be able to put into words? Something NEW to think about huh?

a few days away….with NEW experiences

Well, I’m back!  My hubby and I took a couple of days and got away for our anniversary.

I REALLY enjoyed our get-away because we did a nice variety of things!  Let’s see…we started out with one of our favorite things to do together….we played racquetball (physical), we attended the temple (spiritual), went out to lunch and dinner (ummm, probably another physical, but could be emotional or social?), we toured an exhibit at a museum of the Dead Sea Scrolls (educational), we stayed at a romantic bed and breakfast (emotional?), took a long walk/hike up a canyon trail (physical), went to a NEW theater and saw a funny parody of Phantom of the Opera (social?….or physical because our bellies ached from laughing?)….to name a few of our NEW, fun experiences.

But we’re back to our daily routines now.  It’s always good to get away, but just as nice to come home again!  Happy Friday!  Do or Learn something NEW!!!
