adventure

[ad-ven-cher]

- an exciting or very unusual experience

Doesn't that definition sound like life?  "..an exciting or very unusual experience."

The heat today reminded the CHEERLEADER of the day we moved to Tulsa, OK in 1991. 

That day, August 8th, was the hottest day of the year in Tulsa.  If memory serves me, it was 108 degrees...in the shade!  We talked about the move; unloading our belongings into our 900 sq. ft. apartment; our new bed spread; how long it took to cool off our new "home" due to the door being left open as we moved in.  

As we were talking about it and remembering that day, almost 26 years ago, I said, "WHAT AN ADVENTURE!"

We both smiled at that thought and I began to think about ALL of the ADVENTURES we have been on since.  That move to Tulsa wasn't the first of our LIFE ADVENTURES, and I'm stating, right here, that it won't be the last!

Our lives are a series of ADVENTURES from getting married, having our first child, then our second, then our third, moving (we moved 9 times in the first 10 years of our marriage...the last 21....3!), church, jobs, elementary school, Junior High, High School and College. Graduations, marriage of a child, deaths in the family, new life, and on and on and on and on it goes.......

Through it all...through the GREAT times and the not so great times, one constant has remained.....WE KEEP LIVING OUR ADVENTURE!

As you journey through your BEST YEAR YET.....take on each day with the anticipation of an ADVENTURE!  

Find something NEW today that you haven't done before...maybe meet a new person....Hi-5 a stranger....SMILE at someone.....SMILE at yourself...get out of your comfort zone and do something out of the ordinary. 

I'll leave you with this, "When was the last time you did something for the FIRST time?"

Begin TODAY to LIVE YOUR ADVENTURE!
