Every once in a while, my daughter says something that makes me look at her in a whole new light.<\/p>\n

The other day, she started our day at 6 am<\/em>, by saying “adventure makes me happy, and I have my shoes on.”<\/p>\n

\"adventure<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve always known she was adaptable, and maybe even adventurous, and she’s happily rolled with the punches of every upheaval we’ve thrown at her, family illness, new home, road trip, frequent changes in routines…<\/p>\n

But this time I saw another dimension. Not only is she adventurous, she’s a go-getter, she doesn’t wait for adventure. She’s got her shoes on, and she finds adventure everywhere we go.<\/p>\n

The park is full of adventure, leaves, things to climb on, trails, squirrels to chase, and even in winter we can usually find a flower. The grocery story is full of colors, and signs with letters and numbers, balloons, magazines, apples, brownies, and the greeting card aisle can entertain us for hours.<\/p>\n

Even the commute on those days we drive Aaron in to work is full of adventure, cars, trucks, signs, buildings, sometimes we can see an airplane take off or land as we drive by Boeing, and some of the trucks have letters and pictures on them!!!!<\/p>\n

Life is just so full of adventure. \u00a0It’s wonderful to go somewhere new, but if you’re willing, you might even find a little adventure in your own back yard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
