My New Year’s Resolution: Just Say Yes

It’s time to try new things!

I have noticed in recent years that I’ve gotten a little bit more grumpy with age. I’m more set in my ways and I avoid things that I have tried before that didn’t work. Maybe next year, I should just say yes when I am asked to explore new things. Some of these might include:

Going clubbing at 10 p.m.

Entering that Hawaiian surfing contest

Jumping out of a plane

Enjoying the nuances of eating live octopus

Going on that roller coaster at Disneyland

Camping

Jumping rope

Biting into an apple

Doing a 5,000 piece puzzle

Eating raw insects

Ice-skating

Going a week without using Post-Its

Any crossword puzzle

Learning Latin

Hanging the holiday lights

Not using the GPS and seeing if we can remember how to get there
