When was the last time you did something for the first time?

February 1, 2017 4:43pm CST
The last thing that happened in my life, was when I went surfing and that's about 3 months ago. I had never surfed in my life until then. It was an amazing (and kinda terrified... ) experience. I hope I can do it again someday. Surfing gave me a great sense of accomplishment because I thought I could never do it. The expectation of overcoming your fears or limitations is sensational.

I think that it has been so long ago that I can't remember--and it's not the first time since that happened.

Last year I did a lot of firsts in my life and I found myself wiser and braver for it.

The last time I did something for the first time was in July of 2015. I got on a plane and flew to my hometown (New Orleans) to visit the city and compete at a martial arts tournament. I had never competed outside of my current state before, and was petrified of flying up until that point. I had also never been back to my hometown as an adult. That trip marked a lot of firsts for me.

The last time I did something for the first time was about a second ago - I never used that second before. Hey, and I just did it again . But seriously, that's awesome you surfed ! I'm a poor swimmer, not sure I could ever surf.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. The last time I did something for the first time was when I published my first novel back in 2012. I've now published that first novel a second time and have two more novels published and am working on the final book in the series to get it published this year and also get the second into second edition as well.

When I was young I used to try everything. These days I'm much more anchored and trying a new restaurant is about as advantageous as I get :))

At my age, I have very few fears and the ones I have are well entrenched. I am glad that you tried something new, I can't think of the last time I did, I am sure it has been a while. Though last year I went to my first exercise class and I love it and continue to go.

Today! Fear is not something that blocks me, so presenting a business proposition today did not seem like too much of a big deal! It was not the first time that I have done a business proposition, but the first time with this type of proposition and this type of business.

Oh that's a hard one! It really took a long time for me to come up with something but what I came up with is when back in October I rode a new roller coaster for the first time. It was the first time I ever rode a roller coaster that went upside down but didn't have any shoulder restraints! The ride was quite scary because the only thing keeping me in was a lap bar.

I can imagine surfing would have given you a big buzz. Have you made plans yet to go again?

So you haven't been surfing after that? How good are you now with surfing? Did some one encourage you to surf at that time?
