Four things

I wrote last week that I need to find activities that help us break the mold of our day-to-day life. As a result I've decided to come up with four things to do this month that are new and different. I'm willing to count just about anything outside routine activities such as going to the grocery store or our daily walks in the neighborhood. Just something to make us get out of the house and out of the routine.

The first of our four things is illustrated above - my grandparents were in town today and we spent some time visiting with them and going out to lunch.

Hopefully my goal of four new activities each month will help us stretch out of our comfort zone, but keeping it to four things makes it a realistic target. Just posting this entry gives me a goal to meet, a means of holding myself accountable. And breaking out of the routine just a few times a month can help the routine feel more comfortable on those "regular" days.
