“Adventure is an attitude, not a behavior.” ~ Luci Swindoll
In 2001 when I first heard this quote I never would have understood the impact it would have on life
today. Twelve years ago I read it while I was riding the train from England to France and delightfully soaking up
each moment of my study abroad program. In the following years I visited four foreign countries, lived in four
different states, traveled extensively within the United States, taught
High School students for six years, worked with
refugees and sex-trafficking victims, spent hours volunteering in causes I am passionate about, and celebrated loudly and lived life with my amazing
tribe and friendships.
I loved my life and never would have expected that in the future I would
become primarily bed-ridden and house-bound due to fighting advanced
stage Lyme Disease and Cancer.
And I am learning to live the truth of the quote from above.
As I read with joy the adventures of
many in bloggy world (like Casey’s A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. blog!!) and have friends who
are traveling to the ends of the earth (literally) I am finding once again that
adventure is an attitude and that you can marry adventure no matter what your
health status is, your financial ability to travel, the lack of resources you
may have, the detours of your journey, your marriage status, your regrets, or
your amount of vacation days you have from work. LIFE is truly the adventure
and no matter the seeming roadblocks you can live a life FULL of adventure and
joy.
I think adventure
starts in our minds and then overflows like a beautiful waterfall to our
hearts. I am learning to live a new adventure every day and share some of my stories on my blog, Caravan Sonnet. Sometimes adventure is following a dream that we have had for a long
time, a path that we were once afraid to take, taking a risk, giving to others in need, or reading a blog that inspires
us to meet someone new, support those who are reach out to new friendships, start a new job, or
simply to have the courage to take the road less traveled. *smiles*
