Finding new adventures

It's quite a feeling of satisfaction when a BIG project is finished
but then comes the opportunity to discover new adventures:
either building upon the just completed project or tackling
something new and different to give variety to our lives.

What to do next is an exercise in free choice and depends
on what is our passion or interest in a hobby or innate talent.
What makes us happiest? Make a list or maybe you know.
Mine is to create a bigger and better self published book.

Perhaps to branch out into children's poetry or photography,
the possibilities are really endless-limited only by imagination.
With a little prayer, nudges can come that are useful guidance.
What would He, my Heavenly Father, like me to accomplish next?

Our time here on earth is limited, but we know not for how long.
A creative journal of our thoughts could be priceless to our families,
no matter their age. An expression of our love for them, our hopes
for the future, our philosophy or unique view of the purpose of life.

It's never too early or late too start...here's my youngest grandson James after preschool celebrating Columbus Day and new adventures! (Photo from his mom Tina.)

  1. Cute photo of James celebrating Columbus Day. Very nice hat! I am sure you will do well with a book filled with photos for your family, you write so well and take lovely photos. Perhaps it could be a family project somehow...memories collected from them. Just a thought!
