Opportunity

Opportunity. 

Once a month our apartment complex offers some sort of social activity. We've had a casino night, wine tasting, pool parties, food trucks and this month pizza and an outdoor movie.

I had reminded Chuck that Sunday night was the night, and was he interested in attending? We decided we would attend until about a couple of hours before it was time to go  We began to have second thoughts about whether we really wanted to attend or not? Was pizza really the healthiest choice with all that cheese, and did the movie Wonder Woman even sound like something we would enjoy?

We had pretty much talked ourselves out of it, when I realized that the alternative was basically sitting around the apartment watching tv. So we decided to go, and I'm so happy that we did. 

The pizza was handmade to order with very little cheese, and cooked in a wood-fired pizza oven on an old fire truck of all things. Prior to getting in line we met a new neighbor who had attended my sister's high school in downtown Dallas. While in line we met an empty nester couple who ate a primarily plant-based diet, and recommended several restaurants in the area. 

As we ate our pizza, which was really tasty, we watched the new Wonder Woman movie, and found it quite entertaining. Chuck left for the apartment, and returned with folding chairs, and Cooper, and we sat out by the lake enjoying the breeze while we watched the movie. 

We had a fun time meeting neighbors, eating good food, and watching an entertaining movie. When given the chance take advantage of opportunities that present themselves. It makes for a much more interesting life.
