Variety is the spice

"Variety my friend is the spice of life!"
As I peddled this piece of advice shamelessly to a very close childhood friend of mine recently over the phone, a part of my mind rose like a giant woken up from a deep slumber. Uh-oh, I thought, and quickly ended the call after a few minutes.
This well intented, yet sort of spontaneous response that I uttered based on listening to his problems, woke up a storm of thoughts about me, my life in general.
'when was the last time you did something for a first time' a tagline for an airline in the past, became the barbed weapon of choice for the demon woken within.
Thruthful answer be told, can't remember. Yeah, I've done many things different recently, blah blah blah, but nope, nothing tangible.
Moral of the story: sick of bland food, need some spice!
There, that should put the giant back to sleep.. :-) for a while!
