My January Lively Experience

Growing up watching Kung Fu movies on Saturday morning, I was always mesmerized when the characters ate with chopsticks. I thought it was cool and I wanted to learn.  As a teenager I met two sisters who ate their Chinese food with chopsticks. I immediately told them that I always wanted to learn. They tried to teach me. I failed. Fast forward a decade and I discover that my husband also knows how to eat with chopsticks. He also tried to teach me. I failed again. My reason for failing is because for me quitting is easy. If I don’t like something or don’t feel like putting in the effort, I quit. But the nagging feeling of wanting to learn doesn’t go away. Which brings me to my January Experience as you can tell by now will be eating with chopsticks.  For the entire month of January I will eat all meals that require forks with chopsticks. I’m not looking to have a life changing experience, just looking conquer my failures. Get that nagging witch off my back. Until she starts to chime in to remind me of another failed experience.  I hope at the end of the 31 days I will have mastered the art of eating with chopsticks. Then on the 32^nd day return to my friend the fork.

I’m aiming for weekly updates.  I may update more often, still not sure. Since today is Wednesday by default this will be my blogging day.  Until next week, wish me luck.
