Is anyone out there thinking of doing anything adventurous one of these days? Like everyone else out there lucky enough to be alive, we’re getting older ladies. Just about all of us have something we’ve thought we may want to try. It can be as simple as a radically different hair style or developing and idea into a hobby or even a business. Volunteer work? Conquering the computer? Learning to refinish furniture or planting a garden? Slapping some paint on the walls of a drab room or even discovering what is all the way in the back of that one really scary closet or cupboard. Come on, admit it. We all have those, as well as the mystery containers in our refrigerators.
Or what about something bigger? Bravely looking up that old boyfriend if we’re single or getting back in touch with a good friend from whom we’ve drifted away. Yes, there could be rejection involved, but we’ll never know until we try. Something special may come it. Sometimes we need to shake life up a bit to bring more positivity to us. I can’t claim to be an expert on the topic, but in 2007 I went on a pilgrimage of sorts, and will be forever grateful I did.
My own adventure had it’s beginning in Queens, New York when I was all of three years old. There were years of curiosity, and endless “I wonders” until I left my comfort zone to travel to Italy. But it’s all too much for one sitting, so I’ll continue at another time. Mean while, remember that cosmic clock is ticking. Surely there’s something you’d like to do? Think it over.
Have to run……………….
Does tandem sky-diving count? Definitely left my comfort zone for that but it was really worth the thrill of soaring like a bird! I would love to try it again but my husband almost head a heart attack watching me jump out of that plane! But it was a great way to celebrate my 50+ years on this Earth!
Hey Pat!
Great to hear from you. You are my hero. I don’t think there’s enough wine on the planet to get me to jump out of a plane. But Congratulations, you adventurous woman, you!
