Life is a Series of Journeys and Adventures

I sometimes hear people talk about an experience that shook them. Like a death that made them realize that life is short. Or a loved one getting ill and it made them realize that they had to get there act together in some way or another. Throughout the years I have heard people say these things, but very few ever follow through. They do a few things for a month or two and then they forget about it and revert back to their old ways. Seems to be human nature. I've known very few that made a true effort to change what needed to be changed and made themselves and therefore their life better lived. Why do these people only realize these things when tragedy strikes? Do they not think of living their life to it's fullest before these things happen? I think people get caught up in the day to day tasks that they lose sight of what they want. And what IS living life to it's fullest? I think that's subjective. Everyone's fullest is different. I think very few actively seek to live an adventure or at least see life as an adventure.

We usually think of an adventure as something exciting and wonderful. But what about all the bad stuff? Isn't that all part of the adventure too? Or maybe we should call it a journey, where there are fun, exciting adventures and hard, trying journeys. I started this blog because I was on a life adventure. Which includes the bad stuff, the great stuff, and the in between. I don't like to write a ton about the bad stuff because well, honestly I like to stay positive. Plus, Facebook seems to be more of the platform for whining and negativity these days. I wanted to journal all the things that went on in my new life. Obviously I don't write about every single thing...I'd never put the keyboard down. But I like the meaningful or important moments to be here. All my learning experiences should be here. 

When I came to this state I wanted to do things differently. And for the most part I stuck to that. I wanted my life to have more "adventure" in it. For me it meant seeing new places and trying new things. I do have to say that i have done and have seen so many different things since I came here. The hard part was having two jobs that kept my free time to a serious bare minimum. And with Mr B working tons it made for our adventures to be only a Sunday thing. But I have to say we did a lot!! I will be posting about said adventures here in between the new ones. The bad thing now is this Covid virus. Not everything is open, and if it is, it's at a minimum capacity and so many things were cancelled with no new dates.  

You just have to make the most of it. I'm sure we can find things to do. I have no choice but to find things...winter will be here soon and then we are mostly home bound because it's way too cold for a walk at the lake. But life is just a series of journeys and adventures...good and bad. We must carry on. Til the next adventure.
