“YAAHOOHOOHOOEEE!”

TODAY’S LAUGH: I’ve always loved school, but this is school on steroids. This is school times a gazillion. This is school to the max for my old brain. This is an adventure.

I feel like Goofy in “The Art of Skiing.” Well, the part where Goofy goes flying off the ski jump, “YAAHOOHOOHOOEEE!”

TODAY’S ENCOURAGEMENT: Reinhold Messner writes in Free Spirit, “Adventure is not made up of distant lands and mountaintops. Rather it lies in one’s readiness to exchange the domestic hearth for an uncertain resting place.” 

The domestic hearth is comfortable, warm and predictable. Exchanging all that for the unknown can be scary. Safety is staying where we are; adventure is stepping away from that. (I told DaHusband I’d found my “uncertain resting place.” He said, “You’re just down the highway. It’s not really that uncertain.”)

Okay, so I didn’t go that far in physical distance, but I’m traveling at warp speed right now, toward a future that’s new and exciting. It’s an adventure and all I can say is, “YAAHOOHOOHOOEEE!”

How about you? Do you hear the call of something new for yourself? Maybe it’s a new career path, or changing an old habit. Maybe it’s a new, healthier lifestyle, or a new field of study. Maybe it’s clearing out the clutter and making room for new things in your life and in your heart. Whatever it is, heed the call. Adventure awaits. How exciting!
