You are never too old to try something new…
A concept proven today as I watched a group of elderly men and women experience their first “Mexican Meal”. We planned for days, talked about the different foods served in Mexico, and all of my senior friends said that they were unsure of how it would turn out, but were willing to give it a shot. They filed in, with Pandora pumping mariachi music, and spirits high, the lunch preparation began. We had a blast stuffing tortillas and faces alike. Everyone loved their lunch and 75% of the people had never tried this type of cuisine. The comments ranged from “better than I thought it would be” to “a real treat”. My personal favorite was when I asked one person who happened to be hard of hearing if she was ready for a Mexican dance, and was met with the exclamation of “I don’t want any man, Mexican or not”. Hahaha. The laughs kept coming, our bellies were full, and we all thought the fiesta was a success!
New experiences keep us fresh. We all get stuck in the same old patterns, but let’s take a lesson from these kids and remember that you never know until you try.
