The older I get, the more I believe new opportunities should not be wasted. Whereas I might politely decline an invitation to try something new a few years ago, “I’m up for trying new things” these days.
Introduce yourself to someone you’ve never met. Have an honest conversation.
Learn a new hobby. Challenge yourself!
Slow down to observe things you may never have seen before. Sometimes you have to go to new places but often times these things are under your nose.
Revel in the experience instead of focusing on what didn’t go as planned. Gratefulness is underrated.
These are just a few things to break the routine. Who knows? You might even get to fish Lake Erie with new friends.
For what it’s worth, walleyes are pretty good eating!
