"Change is as good as a holiday!" most of us forget this in daily ritual of just doing what we have to do, you have triggered some good ideas in your post @giantbear

Back when, well then, they spoke of the '7 year itch', normally referring to marriage, if you made the first seven you would be OK. Well in my first seven we moved, traveled and did many great things before settling, to any young couple today I still suggest travel to learn, get out of that comfort zone, or just building a career, see the world and the wonderful people in it.

We really do not consider change in a daily routine, perhaps take a different road home, or stop along the way to enjoy a slightly different view, no matter how big or small yes change is good.
