Think you need a plane ticket and a passport to have an adventure? Think again. Whether it’s Venice or your neighbor’s garage sale, adventure is a mindset—and it’s begging you to RSVP “yes.”
I think deep within each of us there’s a need for adventure. At the present moment, I have a granddaughter in Venice. A daughter traveling with her college class on their way home from Italy and they are in London waiting for a connecting flight. I have a friend at the gym who told me he and his wife are headed to Boston and Cape Cod later this summer. Another friend and his wife are on a cruise traveling through the Gulf of Mexico on their Caribbean adventure. Adventures are good. They give us something to look forward to. They give us stories to bring back and tell over and over again during the winter. We don’t have to go far from home for an adventure. Taking an adventure really is doing something totally different from what we habitually do. Adventurous keep us young in spirit. They’re good for us. We can make every day an adventure. What adventures do you have in mind for today?
