Ah, the thought of adventure. Without adventure life can be so boring! Imagine never discovering new things or places. Think of some places you’ve visited, and had a great time. Was it your adventure? What about doing something you thought would be too risky, later to find out it was one of the best adventures you ever had.

Finding a shell on a beach, taking a hot-air balloon ride, climbing a lighthouse, meeting someone new, can all either lead to adventure, or be the result of an adventure. One day, you might be sitting with your grandchild on your lap. What will you tell him or her? Can you make them feel your excitement as you reveal a part of you they didn’t know about? They may see you as Grandma or Grandpa, the people we go see for dinner on holidays, or they could see you as the adventurous person you either still are, or used to be. The used to be part? Well, how “bout if you don”t fall into the used to be trap.

There’s no reason why adventure can’t still be there no matter what your age, or where you are. It’s all in the way you look at it. A simple walk in a park, watching the sun set, or picking up a fallen leave, can be your adventure. It’s never too late. Go out today and see what your adventure can be!
