SO! I went “outside my circle” today and did something different, and was about to blog about “if you do what you always do, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten” … but as I started to write, I had this funny feeling that I’d written about that before, and sure enough, I’d blogged about it almost exactly a year ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, I was outside of my circle today because of Lent – it’s Ash Wednesday, and I decided to drag myself out to an Ash Wednesday service at the church I got married at, Saint Peter’s Episcopal (the “rapture-ready” church on Hudson Road, complete with to-go box handle on top). That put me in a different physical location than normal, but it took God sending me a firetruck parked in front of one of the restaurants I would have normally fallen back to before I tried a new place – the Lost Cajun, itself part of a chain I’d been to before, but for some reason I ordered something different than normal, and got the amazing blackened catfish dish above which was far better than the things I’d previously tried there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, weirdly, my previous “if you do what you always do” post was also right around the start of Lent. So I wonder if there’s something about the spiritual earthquake that Lent is supposed to inspire that also had sent me climbing out of ruts and seeking new experiences a year ago – or, whether that experience left echoes of memory that prompted me to try the same thing again this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who knows? It was a good dish of fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
