They say a change of scenery can change your outlook. Some even say a new outfit can make you feel like a million bucks. You know what? They might be right.
Yesterday I brought my mother and daughter to Kohl’s for the first time since Mom broke her hip in May. She bought me a new dress. Tonight we, as a family, went to a new restaurant in town.
I did feel like a million bucks. I had on a dress that fit me like they tailored it just for me. I had my entire family with me. We were eating at a local Italian restaurant that actually understands gluten allergies.
You know what happened after dinner? It started to rain. You know what else? Dinner was pretty good! It was a little loud and a little too casual for the price of the entrees but it was still good. We brought home left overs.
We came home as a few drowned rats with full bellies. We will have these memories for as long as our brains allow.
I’m not sure a dinner for 6 is in our future there but we will most likely find ourselves having lunch for 2.
Try new places. Support local. Buy the dang dress. You never know how it might make you feel!
