Goal for the Day: Be Adventurous

At first dismayed by the new arrangement,
Bertie quickly rallied and made his own
adventure with his fluffy friend, "Lambchop."

Sometimes, you’ve got to add a little adventure to your life. But, adventure doesn’t have to mean jumping from an airplane or climbing the highest peak. Sometimes, the best adventures are the simplest ones. Part of an adventure means introducing some change into your life. Yesterday, I made some adventure for myself by rearranging my furniture and assorted bric-a-brac simply to introduce some change and excitement into the house. Since I both live and work here, it’s pleasant to create new visual adventures every so often.


To that end, I’m also updated the look of Stalking the Belle Époque with some new graphics. All of the information that you enjoy seeing is still available to you, just with a rejuvenated feeling.

Today, give yourself some kind of adventure. Do something that you’ve been thinking about for months, but haven’t gotten around to. Or, simply take a jaunt outside to see how your community has changed with the season. Just remember, all adventures come with this clean up. Whether it’s sweeping up the dust left behind furniture or wiping the mud from your feet, you’ll find that a little inconvenience is worth the experience. As Bertie learned this morning when he bounded down the stairs into the fresh Spring mud, sometimes, after your adventure, you’ve got to be picked up and put in the sink to have your feet washed. But, somehow, it’s worth it to enjoy a nice romp.
