In looking over an older Yoga Journal mag, I came across an
article entitled, “everyday adventures”.
It's just a tiny clip, and offers the following as adventures in the
day-to-day:
-talk to a stranger at a cafe, or in line at the grocery
store
-try cooking a vegetable you've never eaten before
-go the long way to work and take in the fresh sights
-take a yoga class with a teacher you've never studied with.
This got me thinking...do I have an adventure every day?
Some adventures I've tried lately have been:
-ordered my Ahi Tuna steak all the way “rare”(loved it!)
-bought a new shade of lip gloss (how shocking!)
-got a haircut at a place I'd never tried
-hired on a new instructor
-grew turnips for the first time (they look good. We’ll see how they taste)
-placed an order for a new product I’m not sure will sell
There are adventures to be had today, if you just start looking for them. What adventures have you had lately?
I bought a pair of binoculars and am learning about the birds I hear singing around me every morning when I do my hot-tub yoga stretches. Starting to get the hang of using the binoculars, slowly. Also learning, slowly, about how to really notice nature. Learned I am going to be a bird grandma soon, there is a nest of warblers, I think, in my garden, and one that I think is a chimney swift in my birdhouse.
