That being said, it's Smell the Roses time! Not sure what Smell the Roses is? No worries you can read all about it right here. And remember, your whole post doesn't have to be dedicated to the task to link up, it just needs to be mentioned. .
Last week's task was pretty simple (aren't they always?)... Try something new. I chose this, because sometimes I get caught up in my day to day schedule. I forget that each day is a new day and that I shouldn't just go through the motions, but truly live in every moment. Be present in every moment. Be alive in every moment!
So to mix things up a little I did a few new things. What did you try that was new?! I'm dying to know, so link up below and tell me! And grab a button while you're at it :)
one. I tried a new restaurant Saturday night with my best friend and her sister, and I liked it so much that I took Adam there Sunday afternoon! It was a little all natural/organic bistro and the food was absolutely delish. It's called Sumatra Bistro Cafe & Bakery so if you live in the Tampa area - you have to try it :) Plus the service was so friendly. Such a relaxed atmosphere.
1. A cup of mushroom & brie soup...SO good!
2. Half of an eggplant, tomato, mozzarella sandwich
3. Adam & I even split a dessert - a piece of lemon goodness.
Adam said it was like eating air. I'd have to agree. I'm such a sucker for dessert!
4. We ordered coffee and enjoyed it out on the patio.
Adam said it was the best coffee he's ever had...take that Starbucks!
two. Yep that's me...shooting a gun. Notice my lovely facial expression ;) It was so loud and a little more powerful than I expected. But surprisingly, it was a lot of fun. A group of us got together at Adam's dad's house and shot for a little while. Yay for big lakeside backyards!
three. The last new thing that I tried is still in progress. For an entire week (I started last Tuesday), I'm only listening to worship music. Just trying to cleanse myself and regain focus :) I've been having a hard time lately with the fact that I live semi-far away from my boyfriend, friends, & family and it's really been making me have a negative attitude. SO I'm trying to kick that before it gets the best of me! So far it seems to be paying off...I'm feeling happier and more focused! Thanks for the idea, Em :) P.S. I've learned how cheesy Christian radio is...yikes. Thank God for iTunes.
This week's task: Think about a goal you've been wanting to meet. What's keeping you from going after that goal? Time to conquer it!
There are so many things that I want to do. I say, "Oh I'll do that in a few years" or "I'll do that after this, this, and this." Why wait? Time to live out your dreams. Only you can get off your butt and achieve the dreams that you've muffled down in your heart. Don't wait until it's too late, only to be left sitting in regret and trying to play through what-if scenarios. So let's do this :) It can be a big goal or a small goal. Whatever you feel like conquering!
