So seeing as I said I'm looking for new things to do. A few weeks ago I decided I'm going to volunteer to work at a wine festival. It was fun and different. It was down in a small town past Annapolis as you go into Southern Maryland. It was great and a quaint town right on the bay. I had such a great time. I went down there by myself to volunteer at an event called Eat Drink Go Local. It is all about promoting local vineyards/wine and restaurants. So I poured wine at a pairing tent for about 3 hours then I got a pass after to go around and taste both wine and food. It made me realize something. As I was walking around and just chatting it up with anyone pouring wine or tasting wine (it was a wine festival not much else was happening) whether it was at a pairing tent or just a vineyard's tent, I was asking questions and just carrying on general conversation. I realized that a few years ago maybe even last year... if I were going to try something new it would always be with someone and if no one could come with me then I would not go. I would chicken out and now not only did I go by myself but I ended up talking to a bunch of people and being asked if I want to volunteer for some of the vineyards at future festivals. I guess I realize I'm more adventurous than I ever thought.
I guess all it takes is a little faith that you have the guts to do whatever you set your mind to.
