47- ADVENTURES!.....

One of the little secrets to a more exciting life is something called an ADVENTURE! Just thinkin' about exploring a farm, with an old abandoned farmhouse and an ancient barn on Saturday, excites my mind. Taking along my Nikons is a must. Let's see, fave shorts, red Mystic Pizza shirt and those trusty sandals will be ready, especially thinking about it all day. See...livens up the mind and the weekend...and that's gooooood!
If you haven't done it, select a notebook with class (he-he)and label it ADVENTURES, with two columns. One column is for 'accomplishment' adventures, and the other column is for actually 'doing 'em' adventures.
I set out to uncover every standing old train depot in my native Virginia, go there and photograph. Now done! Climb and photograph every lighthouse in my State...done!
Attend college and graduate...done!...plus far beyond. Learn to creatively write well and be published...done! Walk across a looong country swinging bridge...done! Live with an Amish family for a week..done. Learn to ice skate...yes. Learn to roller skate...done. Compose and film a film...yes! Be named the 'most influencial teacher' by students...yes. Swim across the James River...uh, not yet. Seek out and film a Sasquatch in our Northwest...not yet. Figure out why cows run towards me when I'm in a field photographing...??? Learn to and build scaled models of local historic buildings and barns...done! Intelligently understand what makes women tick...trying. Spend the night in a haunted castle in Scotland...coming!
There are more, but I wanted you to 'get the picture'...now, why don't you begin your ADVENTURES notebook. When you accomplish one, mark carefully through it...and keep adding more over time! Whoops, might have to purchase another notebook for an Adventures II!!
