The rules

The objective: Try something new each week for the year 2014.

The goal: To stretch and grow, as well as to look forward, instead of behind.

The rules: The 'something new' has to be a truly new type of action for me; for instance, a new fruit or vegetable that I have never eaten before. I’m vegetarian, so there will be no eating of bizarre insects, thank you. But I am prepared for my taste buds to be disgusted, bored, or enthralled. Preferably, I’ll be looking into new activities, those that involve a little effort or courage. A new movie, concert, or a new restaurant does not count. It has to be a new type of music in a new concert hall, a new city, a new type of art class. Every week. Hot-air ballooning is on the list, as is going to see a roller derby. Some weeks will be small, quick things (as I do sometimes have deadlines at work), but at least one activity per month has to be ‘a big deal.’

So why the blog? To help keep me on track, and hopefully to gather ideas from others as to options.

Famous quote to go with this: A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for. ('Salt from My Attic' by John A. Shedd, Portland Maine, the Mosher Press 1928).
