no end to the adventures

Ever since I went to RYLA i have gotten a quote in my email everyday from the Foundation for a Better Life, this super cool organization.  Sometimes they are awesome, other times they are kinda average.  I started today reading this one
"We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open"


What a wonderful freaking way to start my day. Its so true, so incredibly true. Last night I couldn't sleep so I searched for some adventures.  I opened google maps, typed in the schools address and explored the map, then I chose a park and went for a run to it today.  It was awesome, I just ran, through these streets that I don't know at all and took it all in, the smells, the sounds, all the sights and then stopped at the park and took some more in.  I saw big fancy houses, and small houses, I saw squirrels and birds and bugs and lots of different people and at the park I just sat in the grass and watched the people enjoy the park.  The kiddos playing and totally loving it, the little boys teaching each other to tackle, the toddlers waddling around exploring all that this big cool world has to offer them.  I smelled the grass and the trees and the fresh(ish) air and felt the sun and wind on my shoulders and just explored, in the most simple form.  So I decided, I will start looking for different places to run to every time I go for a run and explore the places around me that way, while enjoying the outdoors and getting my daily dose of stress relieving exercise. Perfect :)


And this weekend is a three day weekend. Scotty is coming. And I have spread my need for adventure and exploration to Hayley and some other antsy people on the floor. So we are gonna play and explore and its gonna be fantastic.


Its true, there is so much to explore and I dont even need a car or any money, I have so much right around me to explore. And when the opportunity arises to go a little further Im gonna take it but finding a little way to explore all on my own made me a little less antsy. And I am so freaking excited for this weekend. So much to feel. And see and live and be and love. Its wonderful :)
