Sometimes I have to use my own medicine on myself. Although much of my life is clicking along like a well-oiled machine, there is one part that is not. That gets under my skin. I get frustrated.

This last weekend was my birthday weekend. I followed none of my usual traditions, at least the way I usually do them. I went to a different retreat. I met new friends. I went to a different beach. I saw Wonder Woman in D-Box at Galaxy Theater inside Casino Fandango. Each of these new experiences gave me new perspective. It was then I realized there is comfort in routine. Yet, the real experiences come when you shake it up.
