Try Something New

It’s never too late to try something new.

Over the weekend I decided to do marathon party hop to celebrate the Labor Day weekend. It was an experience that I will never forget for a long time. Some folk have asked if I will do it again and the answer is a resounding ‘huh?!!’

The urge to stay within your comfort is pleasing to most people because it’s a familiar place to be and you know quite familiar with the rhythm. Stepping out and trying something new only enhances your palate. You can speak of the situation from a personal standpoint and not from the outside looking in.

Think about the things that you have urged your children and pseudo kids to try so that they can have the experience. They may have kicked and screamed because their friends didn’t like it or folks will think that they are lame but you want them to know for themselves why they do or do not like something. It’s the same way with you, the adult, step out of your comfort zone and try something new.

As far as the fun that I experienced weekend, I am not sure that my body can take the marathon parties with no sleep. But I can say that I did it and it was FUN FUN FUN.
