Mundane

The choices for today are: (1) mute, (2) Monday, (3) mundane. The chosen word is mundane.

The quote above my header is "My life is spent in one long effort to escape from the commonplaces of existence." which is from the story, The Red-Headed League by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and this could be my motto in life. I live a very mundane life and that's not a bad thing. Sometimes I think I should be leading a more exciting life but other times, I think mundane is good. Mundane is safe and I don't panic too often. But I don't oppose to having some exciting thing happening every now and then. Something like getting a free book can be exciting to me so I suppose what I think of as exciting might be mundane to other people. But most of the time, I prefer a peaceful existence with a little touches of excitement to break the mundane.

Do you think you're living a mundane life? Do you prefer mundane over exciting?

For tomorrow, the letter N, the choices are (1) no, (2) noodles, (3) nostalgic. Choose which word I might ramble about or tell a story.

  1. I think we have similar outlooks. Most of the time I want a predictable, mundane life. But every once in a while, I enjoy a good mix-up or surprise.

  2. Oh yes, my life is very mundane, especially the older I get. And that's just fine with me -- I'll take it over chaos any day.
