Our daily lives can start to feel mundane, like we’re just going through the motions and doing the same thing day after day. The thing is, there is a lot of repetition in getting up, going to work, coming home, making dinner, going to bed and doing it all over again tomorrow, but every once in a while something out of the ordinary happens and those are the things that make life exciting.
