Something New!

Sunday, a day of rest.  And resting we are!  Time for some football, and this isn't easy!  The 49ers are playing the Az Cardinals... and I don't know who to root for!  Well, in fact, most of the year, I root for both teams, and today, I'm just rooting for each play to go well, no matter which team has the ball. But.  In the end, because it will make a difference in moving forward to playoffs, I hope AZ wins!

I took "the girls" (my mom and her sister) to church - because I am always the driver. hehehe  It was a good service, same church I was raised in; that part doesn't change. We stopped off and had lunch at Chili's, and that's never been bad.  We were talking about ordering food at restaurants - how often do we go in and order the same old foods?   I can remember years ago when I would order something "safe", like a burger or sandwich that I would be familiar with.  But .... almost always, food in a restaurant is really good.  So today, I gambled and ordered a Quesadilla Explosion Salad.  It was a mixed greens salad with little tortilla strips, pico de gallo, and a honey lime type dressing that sort of exploded with flavor in your mouth.  It was served with a cheese quesadilla on the side.  This was probably the best salad I've had in a restaurant in a long time!


But my point?  We're always worrying about ordering something we know we will like that we don't venture out of our comfort zone and try something new.  That doesn't apply to just food in a restaurant, however.  It works that way in life as well.  We should always strive to try new things, to see what we're capable of, to push our personal limits and use that to grow.

So go out there,
be bold, be brave
and try something new!
