I am not very far into eXtreme 2015 and realize that to challenge is committing (every day) to being open. I also quickly realize that one lesson that is revealing itself is to let life happen and let it go ( I will refrain from a Frozen reference here).
So last night was a night out with the girls and in the spirit of adventure I let others around me select elements of the night:
The movie - we saw the Imitation Game which I didn't know anything about before seeing and it was phenomenal. The kind of movie where people clap at the end.
The mode of transportation - my girlfriend insisted we walk the four blocks from the theater to dinner in the bitter cold is Lake Michigan winds even when one of us was without our coat. The walk turned out to be a great way to connect.
The drink- when we got to the restaurant it was clear on their menu that they specialized in signature cocktails. So I asked the waiter "what do you recommend?". He quickly responded with "EL FALS-O-GRONI!" I look at the menu and didn't recognize any of the drink's contents: El Buho Mezcal, Cocchi di Torino, Cynar
I then hesitated. Wanting to go for something safe, something familiar, something easy, something comfortable, I then remembered the promise I made to myself to step out of that four-sided box and said "Yes, I'll have that!". Turned out to be a great drink. Who knew! I would never know if I didn't try and that's the point.
So raise your glasses high and say "Yes" to life.
