Two great ideas to manage stress and create joy instead.

 Habit of the week - Let's change the way we regard the view from our window. Or look through a different window.

The article came from the New York Times.  In the "city that never sleeps", anxiety may have been quite high around election time. I found a few treasures in the article by Melissa Kirsch, called "The View from a Different Window" 4th November, 2020.

Window Swap 

"A new perspective is a click away".  A Singaporean couple who had grown weary of the view from their window during the pandemic, launched a programme called Window Swap.  Go to the website,  click, and a random view from a window will appear.  It is a video clip - so you might see birds or insects.  You can watch with or without sound.  Here is the link:-

The link will ask if this is correct - It is.

The words for you and me.

What do these words have in common:- Crop Top, Gobsmacked, Backlit and Meltdown.

These words came into print in the year I was born.  There are many more words for that year and some have already gone out of use. Double click here and have a look at the year you were born:-
