To Live is an Awfully Big Adventure - Peter Pan

Do you ever have that fleeting desire to go on an adventure to explore the world around you?

I do, randomly.

It's 10 o'clock at night, dark out, and I'm ready to go scramble up a mountain. As Peter Pan says
"To live is an awfully big adventure." So? Why not?

Sitting at home makes me antsy. I need to move. The feeling of doing nothing, being lazy makes me restless. Think of it this way. You're laying in bed and tomorrow's Christmas. The thought of what you may be getting, the excitement of the impending surprise keeps your eyes wide open all night. The thought of even closing your eyes brings the idea that all the joy, every gift, every fulfillment will be taken away in a heartbeat! 

So, what's the point of closing your eyes? What's the point of taking away the excitement? Keep them wide open! Ready for every wild adventure!

Today, after school, I had the opportunity to hike Abercrombie. A beautiful hike, which I soon hope to start running. 

  

See? What's the point of sitting at home when such beauty waits for you outside? It calls to me, come and join me. The world awaits!
