Sometimes Something Old Can Be New Again

This afternoon I went to Molly's house to help her and her roommate Scout move furniture. First we re-arranged the existing couch in the same room, but ended up switching the couches from the den and living room. In the end, each room had a new look just using the same furniture.

Sometimes all it takes to revive something is to try it in a new situation. You can place it in a new spot, or with a new accessory, or with a new coat of paint. Or maybe you can just change the way you look at it.

It works with things, with people, and with perspective. Just because you've had it a long time, doesn't mean it can't be different. Just because it's served you well in the past, doesn't mean it can't have a new life in different circumstances. You just have to be willing to move things around, shake things up, and try it in a different way.

You won't know the potential that is there until you try.
