Though I am not currently on an epic long-term adventure, I have to remind myself that there is still plenty of cause to enjoy life! Especially in an area as beautiful as northern Michigan. My focus has been instead on mini-adventures: skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, ice skating, kayaking. Also, I have been spending some time substitute teaching 3-6 year olds, who are often the experts on appreciating life and adventuring. They are often radiating joy!

With a little bit of focus on my next big adventure, a stepping stone toward where my crazy life will lead, I will spend the rest of my preset time adventuring and learning what I can from those around me.

Get outside! Adventure!
