Thursday Thoughts

I think I need to become a little more adventurous. I've been kind of doing the same things every week. I should take a few risks. Try something new. Get out of my comfort zone.

Active stuff:

• Kayaking? We do this on occasion at nearby lakes and streams, but maybe having some sort of organized kayaking excursion would be fun?
• Dancing? (Nah. Husband would not want to do this and I don't want to dance with random people)
• Sports classes or clubs? (Nah. Expensive. Also, hate sports + terrible at sports.)
• Hiking? (Love this, but already doing this - doesn't quite fall into the "take risks" category).

Cultural:

• More museums, more concerts, more time exploring nearby historic sites (YES! Need to do this)

Other:

• Spa? Sauna? I have never done much of these things.. maybe should give it a try? Not sure.
• Shopping? My daughters like going shopping and always beg me to take them places. I hate shopping (except for kitchen-stuff stores and IKEA). Perhaps we can do more of this?
• Gardening? (Maybe joining some sort of a club) - I don't love gardening but do like to be able to eat stuff we grow.
• Bee keeping? (Our neighbors set up a bee hive recently)

Adventure:

• Well, we are travelling to the Baltic region in a couple of weeks, so I suppose that counts.

As I am looking through these bullet points, I keep thinking - maybe instead of seeking out risks and new stuff, I should do more of what I already enjoy doing (but feel like there is never enough time). Like, an afternoon trip to Philly to visit a museum. Or an early morning hike on a weekday... 

What if I can manage to make the mundane stuff feel like an adventure? Like, try a brand-new recipe when making dinner.... or try some exotic laundry method... 

Did you have an adventure this week?
