adventure …

There is something about the word adventure that excites the mind. Plans start to form. The heart starts to beat faster. The face begins to flush like petal soft roses. There is a lightness and a bounce n the footsteps. There is no drudgery. There is an "I can do this" attitude. Adventure isn't just for men. There is something there for the girl.

This girl, this tiny girl often feels like a minuscule speck up against such vastness. Probably more like the poor confused squirrel this morning who had started to venture across the road only to have two rumbling beasts barreling towards him.

I had let the house loom too large for me. Requests for help have been tossed aside. I decided that I needed to step back, access, and then do what I could allowing things to fall in place unlike the squirrel who didn't stay backed and risked his hide in front of my jeep. I think he made it and saved my poor heart. Not sure how his little heart faired.

To stop getting discouraged over things I have no control ove,r I decided the best thing to do is turn a question lose. "What adventure can I get into today?" It makes the eye begin to twinkle and the fingers drum together. It blows away the endless to-do lists leaving what gets done a satisfaction.

So what if I have ugly beige inners to my outlets and light switches! So what if I stumble my way to the front door in winter because the light switches are on the entry side. So what if the bar table is at table height. They are going on the baha list. They will get done and most likely by me. I shall be that adventurist that pulls our the pictures saying "I been and done that". No more freak outs and low points. It is about off roading. Be the beast. Roar!!!!!
