Dull and Ordinary

I’m feeling like my life has gotten a bit dull and ordinary. I think I’m in need of an adventure very soon – something unusual – something I’ve never done – something fun. I’m not sure what it is yet, but I know I need it.

I’ve gotten too entrenched in daily life. There’s the house and garden, volunteer work, organizations, gatherings, details, board meetings, events to plan, projects to do, and work. I’ve become the soccer mom without the kids or the soccer. I have to break that mold and fast. I do not want to live a life stuck in routine. I realize some people love life to be that way, and more power to them – goodness knows I envy them sometimes because that would be so much easier to achieve.

But that is not how I want my life to be. I want my life to be filled with newness and exciting things and adventure. I want every day to have something in it that makes me say, “hmmm… I’ve never done that before.” It doesn’t have to be anything major, but every day should offer some opportunity for something new and different – a new restaurant, a town you’ve not been to, a person you’ve not met, a pie you’ve not tasted, a flower you’ve not smelled, a rock you’ve not seen – something. We live in an amazing world – everyday should have something new in it.

This begs the question of when was the last time I did something I’ve never done before. Hmmm… I’ll have to think about that. But it wasn’t today. Yet. But it’s only 4 p.m. – I still have time. I’ll report back.
