Today I ate at a Greek restaurant for the first time. The food was good, and the decor and atmosphere pleasing. I enjoyed the experience.
Those who know me will probably gasp in shock. I'm well known for eating at only a handful of restaurants and always eating the same food when I'm there. But over the past couple of weeks, I've been attempting to change a few things in my life by trying new experiences. So far, so good.
I've been attempting to do a new thing every day. Doesn't have to be big. I can read a new book, watch a new TV show, do a new exercise, listen to a new song, etc. Just a new thing a day. So far, I've liked all my new things, but I'm sure I will eventually find some that I don't. That's okay. The purpose is to experience new sensations and events. I don't have to like them. I don't have to do them again. Just once.
I don't want to live my life regretting the things I didn't do.
What about you? Got some experiences you want to do? Go do them! Unless, of course, they're harmful to you or other people. Then don't.
Talk to you tomorrow.

I guess I don't know you as well as I thought I did, because I didn't know you only ate a few restaurants and ate the same thing. I'm glad you're trying something new every day, though, that sounds like a really good idea.
Did you get baklava for dessert at the Greek restaurant? It's exactly what a diabetic shouldn't eat, but my goodness it's good. What did you eat there? (I haven't had breakfast yet and I'm really hungry. Can you tell?)

I didn't get any desserts at the restaurant. I'm not sure what I ate. I just ordered off the lunch menu. It was a spicy chicken. I think it was called schwanna. Or something like that.
There are several Greek foods I enjoy. Hubby won't touch it, so I have to try it when's not around. An easy one is a Greek Salad, of course.
Baklava is a rich, flaky, tasty dessert. Highly recommend (with appropriate cautions so you keep glucose balanced).
If you're making something at home, I find the fat free feta cheese to be very tasty.
I like the idea of trying one new thing a day. It doesn't have to be anything earth-shattering, but a little gentle experimentation can't hurt.
I've tried that with reading over the years and have been pleased with the results.
