Anything, everything, little or big
becomes an adventure
when the right person shares it.
I'm sitting in my living room, sipping water and taking my morning vitamins,
daydreaming of our past road trips,
and planning for our next big road trip to California.
Rob walks in from our screened porch and notices that familiar look on my face.
"Where are you now? Here? Myrtle Beach? Lake Michigan? California?"
"All of the above. I feel that vagabond spirit coming over me."
"And I can see it. I have an idea.
Why don't we go to Dreyer Island next week for a few days?"
Why don't we go to Dreyer Island next week for a few days?"
Yes!
Upon returning home a few weeks ago, we decided to stay home for the summer.
The decision sounded good at the moment.
Traveling in our home-on-wheels three weeks after my knee replacement surgery
was the perfect Physical Therapy for me.
But now, the thought of lounging around our home for two months,
sitting in our screened porch in the evenings
while thunder storms surround us.
Ahh, nothing could be finah
than to be in Carolina...

That lasted until mid-July.
Hot July. Hotter August on the way.
Now we shall pack a few items,
and off we'll go,
just an hour north on Lake Murray,
to Dreyer Island.
Everywhere I go people say to me,
"I wish I could travel like you."
Last week at a writers conference
I met a woman face-to-face that
friended me on Facebook.
Smiling, she told me,
"When I grow up I want to be just like you."
Smiling, I simply answered,
"We never know where our journey will take us.
We must learn to be happy right where we are.
We must be happy with who we are.
Then we can enjoy our journey
wherever it takes us."

God has given each of us a unique journey.
Through good times and challenges
your journey will change you, and will influence those around you,
even those you have never met face-to-face.
Always take a moment to encourage those who seem lost,
or someone who just might need a hug.
Now Popcorn must take me for my morning walk,
which is part of my PT.
I wish you oceans of cool summer blessings!
Share each other's burdens,
and in this way
obey the law of Christ.
Galatians 6:2
