Branching out

Today I tried a new restaurant again...I know this seems like a silly thing to celebrate but I am a creature of habit.  I am no different than others who want to think of themselves as adventurers...but when I actually really reflect - I am most comfortable when I am in my element.  Which is why trying something as out there as a vegetarian restaurant is crazy adventure for the day.  And...it wasn't bad.  Its not just the food that makes me uncomfortable (although it was hard to select the type of patty when the selections were...wild rice, chick peas and seeds) its the unknown.  How do I order?  Where do I sit?  When I psychoanalyze myself...I realize it's just really a loss of control.

I travel a lot and I do try new things...all of it is an uncomfortable loss of control.  

Anyway, I ate the veggie burger.  I figured out the ordering and the seating.  I survived.  Baby steps to getting out of my comfort zone.
