Prompt: New things I've tried recently
It's a little depressing to admit it, but I'm honestly coming up kind of blank on this one.
About a year or so back I took Firstborn canoeing in a friend's inflatable kayak. I haven't done any sort of canoeing in decades, but that's still not exactly new. Likewise, in recent years I've gotten back into camping, and Dungeons & Dragons, and sewing patches on my progressively-more-awesome jacket, but none of that is really new.
In fact, looking at what might be my Bucket List if I really thought about it that way[1], I find that there are an awful lot of things that I'd like to get back to doing, but not a whole lot of new things that I'd like to do.
I'm, um, I'm feeling like kind of a boring person now.
[1] But I don't think of it that way, because I'm immortal. At least until proven otherwise.
I felt like a boring people while writing my answer to this prompt, too. You are not alone there. :)

If I had not had my trip to Utah in November, I would have been blank as well. It saved me! lol... you can read about it here: https://jhthomas.blogspot.com/2023/01/wednesday-weekly-blogging-challenge-new.html
ReplyDeleteNope, not boring! My new boundaries sort of worked out!
ReplyDeleteWhen you get back into previous hobbies, sometimes you learn a lot of new things about them.
ReplyDeleteSo who says you have to do completely new things to avoid being boring? We grow in spirals. We spiral back around to familiar things and do them in new ways. The most popular "new thing" mentioned in this link-up was reading a new book...obviously bloggers have read books before!
ReplyDeleteI don't think you sound boring at all. You sound comfortable. And it's wonderful to get back into hobbies that you once enjoyed, so you can enjoy them again. You're making new memories! :)
ReplyDeleteI struggled to come up with anything this week myself, but you don't sound boring at all.
