""Love where you are." A perfect reminder when things are hard to not spend your time looking ahead pleading for things to be over and things to be different. But just to stop. Stop looking backwards. Stop yearning and waiting forwards. Today, where you are right now, is a joy. Because today, right now, is the best place to be. Because happiness does await us in this day. No matter what we have, or don't have—no matter what we can do, or can't do— good times or bad, joy comes now. Happiness is in today."

adventure.


"if you think adventure is dangerous, try routine, it's lethal."

doing the same things over and over is often what sends me into a spiral of sadness.
i crave adventure, and i NEED it to feel fulfilled.
however, i'm not very good at going out and seeking adventures.
routine really is easier sometimes, i guess.
i often find myself thinking that i shouldn't do something different because of money.
well i work hard & i'd rather have my money going toward "moments" instead of "things" anyway!

so here's my idea on how to change this:
i want to starting planning an adventure of some sort, every week!
and a big get-out-of-town adventure once a month.

when i was little my mom and i use to go for lots of adventures!
we even called them that.
we would go exploring on walks.
check out houses that were being built in our neighborhood.
go to our favorite shopping places, 
or just take a drive.
i loved these adventures and cherish all these fun memories my mom and i made.

i know that if i start seeking out more adventures in my life, 
that i will discover even more happiness and beauty in my day to day living.

what are some of your favorite ways to be adventurous?
i'd love to know!
