Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5
I'm exploring the new terrain behind our property that was clear cut as fire mitigation. It's familiar ground but all the trails are gone so I have to find my way. I'm always exhilarated when I return home.
How are you ? Last time I tried new is to use paint crayons , I can draw and then with a wet tissue paper spread the paint an it looks like a really painted . It is neat but mine looks like a kids work. It was fun.
Last week I tried Almond milk in my breakfast porridge. It was awful and I emptied the rest of the carton down the sink. I'll stick with regular milk, or oat milk if it is on special.
I spent Christmas and the beginning April I took trains that I never took before and saw many new things. All the while, I was teaching myself new patterns and techniques for knitting hats and socks. In fact, I am currently trying a new way to knit a heel and have plans to learn another new one on the next thing I knit.
I know this will sound weird, but early retirement. I've spent most of my adult life working and was planning that until I was forced out, but as 2020 was drawing to a close, I decided that there was simply too much change going on at work and I didn't want to deal with it anymore (no, this wasn't Covid related).
So simply sitting on my butt and getting paid for simply sitting on my butt (or whatever else I choose to do with my time), is a new exciting concept for me.
A couple of months ago I started taking classes on ZOOM.
ReplyDeleteSaturday. I made a pot of potato soup that was far different than my usual. Far better too.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and week. ♥
Ha ha, these days my something new is usually a new med.
ReplyDeleteI try to do or learn something new everyday. Even if it is a new word.
ReplyDeleteI know I always try new foods.

I am great. How are you. It has been a while since I heard from you.
DeleteEach day! So fun to try new things! And to make new things!
ReplyDeleteThis past Saturday i learned a new way to pay for parking in downtown NOLA. Does that count?

I've been told I have to do more exercise. So I have to do some exercise every day, that's new for me! YUK!!!
