the first time

let's play a little game called...

when was the last time you did something for the first time?

firsts can be exciting...they can draw us up and out of our routines and things. they can also be hard and embarrassing.  sometimes they can be fun, sometimes frustrating...sometimes scary or amazing.  sometimes all of this at once!  helen keller once said, "life is an adventure or it's nothing at all."  

so what's yours gonna be?  

find a first to tackle today.  it's easy.  it's free.  take it all in...stop to wonder at the weird parts all the while enjoying the lovely.

several firsts that could fit into your day:

read a book you don't think you'll like

eat indian food

sing on your way to work/school

give something special to you away

compliment a stranger

send flowers anonymously to someone who'll never guess

dance in your car

celebrate your unbirthday (with a cake and everything)

talk to the postman

start a tradition

collect raindrops

leave a post it note on the mirror in the public bathroom saying something like "you are fabulous"

turn up the music

leave some change in the vending machine or in the little crappy toy machine at the front of walmart

use this post as an excuse to do something out of your comfort zone.  and if someone laughs...tell em there's this crazy girl on the internet that dared you to do it.

happy tuesday.
