Wow...I can't believe you spontaneously drove to Key West, FL from St. Louis. That's definitely adventurous. I can be spontaneous but usually need a little planning...speaking of which I so need to plan what I'm doing once I'm in Hawaii.

I was in A Sentimental Mood the other day. I talked about an acquaintance that passed at the tender age of 37. Today was his memorial services. It was a beautiful service replete with flowers and music and wonderful memorials by his father, his wife, his eldest son, his best friend... I mean folks had so many nice things to say about him. I too have ONLY nice things to say about him and I just knew him in passing.
Anyway, the service had me thinking about so many things. From -- having a plan in place should I pass at an early age to wondering what people will say of me when I pass. One particular quality popped into my head that I would most like to be remembered for.
I would like it to be said of me that I was ADVENTUROUS... that I did everything I wanted to. I think that was the case in my younger years, fresh outta high school. Once, out of the blue, I purchased a one-way ticket to Oakland, California... had only $300 in my pocket and set out for some great adventure. From Oakland, I got on a Greyhound with a very best friend of mine and we took to the wild west. Landed in Los Angeles for a bit and went on to New Mexico where we parted ways. It was such an adventure! I have much more yet to do....

I remember once, being so cold in St Louis, Missouri, I got in my car and drove 25 hours to Key West, Florida. It was an unbelievable journey. I traveled with my best friend which made the journey so much fun. We had a blast! It is a journey I will never forget. Don't worry folks, we went in February when it was NOT hurricane season.

Adventure is me driving cross country... SFO to Georgia.
Adventure is me phoning my mother that I got married on a whim. Fate tells me it was destined cause we are still together 5 years later.
Adventure is me, on this earth, at this time, so incredibly at peace with the destiny of my soul.
Let it be said that I lived an Adventurous life; that I lived a full and complete life; that I lived BIG and loved BIG.
