Hi Joe! How ya been? On Feb 13, 10:32 am, cavelamb wrote: I think to make this thing happen, I'm going to have to quit listening to that part of myself and just load up and go. What is that part of yourself telling you? Probably what we call the "sensible" self. The part that notices that most people don't do crazy adventurous stuff any more. It's so much safer, cheaper, and comfortable to stay home and watch crazy people have their adventures on TV. I can't attribute correctly, but I recall someone quoted as saying an adventure was someone *else* suffering from their foolishness thousands of miles from home - or something to that effect. Twain's advice calls to my heart though! it's hard to beat Twains advice “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” If you need an example of what can happen if you put off your dreams to long ....just look at Nellie. That's the only way anybody ever actually breaks loose, isn't it. The perfect time will never come if you are waiting for it. Joe Richard |
