Carol & I and B & B have had on ongoing "joke" that came up while we in Las Vegas last time (which now seems such a long time ago...). We like going to the same hotels/casinos and sometimes the same restaurants. We always kidded my Mom for doing the same thing - saying that she was in a rut. When we do it, it's not a rut - it's "tradition"! I guess it's just the way you look at it...
I guess that even expands into your everyday life as well. Carol and I go to a Chinese buffet every once in a while. I always get the same stuff from the buffet? Why? A rut? Maybe. Maybe we go there because we know what's there and we know what we want.
So tonight, when they threw some curves at us at some of the buffet stations with different food, I felt "Hey! Where's my stuff!" But I tried the new stuff and liked it a lot, even changing my choices and not getting things that I normally do. It was different, almost "new" in a way. Maybe you just need just a little change every once in a while to make things feel new again, even if it's just food choices...
