So I've been thinking a lot lately. Not that I don't think a lot anyway... I suppose I should be more specific as to what I've been thinking about. I've been thinking that I should rethink my attitudes and goals in life. That's a pretty big thing to think about. Not to mention scary.
Two quotes have been in my mind, one for a while, and one more recently:
"The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step." ~Lao Tzu
"history has no meaning.
when its not about your life." ~Ryan Holdaway
And what have these quotes led me to think? For one, selling Marley and buying an Element might not be the smartest, most attainable goal in my life right now. Maybe after she dies and I actually need to buy a new vehicle, then I'll start thinking about buying my 4-wheel drive. For two, I need to go on an adventure. A BIG adventure. One that takes me to a place that is so different that I will be challenged on every step. One that makes me see the world in a different perspective. On that shows me how I can make a difference on this green planet. And, for three, a question has been circling in my brains like a broken record, "Am I really heading in a direction that will lead to happiness?"
And so here I am. What do I do now? How do I change the path I'm on? I guess I have to start with one step...
Step one: Get through this semester.
Step two to appear shortly.
Happiness is...
~ Waking up at 7:30 all by yourself, without an alarm clock
~ Getting a second wind for work
~ Realizing that I can change goals, Who's stopping me??
~ Being satisfied with my car, Love you Marley.
~ Relief from the decision to take a break from school this summer
~ One step.
"Lord! We know what we are, but know not what we may be." - William Shakespeare

Tiff, I know a road trip isn't the full adventure you're looking for, but could we please still go on one sometime?
I'll be honest. I get a little concerned when I hear that my songs inspire life-altering decisions, but I think a little adventure never hurt. Keep me posted.
You should go on a mission! That could do all those things for you:)
Adventure? Let me take you through a technical slot canyon and throw you off a cliff. Just bring your rappelling gloves. Test yourself.
Life is a big adventure. :)
If you need ideas, let me know...I'm at the point now where I need to stop taking such adventures! However, you can still benefit from my wisdom/experience. Just let me know, Tiff.
It's an exciting decision and I highly recommend such adventures! You're going to love it!
