Recently, I wouldn't say I have thought of my life as an adventure. I've just been doing a lot of gardening, watering, walking, and spending time at home. No complaints--it has been my kind of peaceful time. Also, after many years of completing tasks in various jobs and meeting life's obligations, I have felt like adventures have mostly happened on vacations or during planned activities with family or friends.
And yet... isn't every day a gift offered to us to enjoy and to express who we are in the world? Lately, I have been feeling some energy stirring in my life toward change and new expressions. My perception of my life is transforming. My life is beginning to feel like an adventure. It feels like each day is waiting for my imprint, and that means I can make the choice to step into a New Unknown. I can stay open and ready to move differently and to choose differently. Sounds like small actions that may add up to large adventures.
"Adventure is a path. Real adventure, self-determined, self-motivated, often risky, forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world."
