Have you ever felt...

Have you ever had a feeling that something amazing is about to happen to you but you don't know what it is? That's how I've been feeling for the last week or so. I like feeling this way. It reminds me of the week before I left for study abroad in London. A little nervous, a little bit anxious and a lot excited for an adventure.

I crave adventure, but I always seem to be stuck in the mundane. I know, I know, if you want it so bad you have to make it happen. I'm not going to say "it isn't that easy", because I know better. It is that easy. Telling yourself that something is too hard or will take too much time and effort to get there is just another way of telling yourself you don't deserve it. I deserve adventure. I deserve whatever worthy thing I want. I think adventure it a totally worthy thing. So, what next.

Good question.

The answer could be as easy as just asking for what I want. It's funny how that works but it totally does. It's like stopping for directions.  The people you pass on the street have no idea you're lost until you pull over and ask for help. It's more rare to be sent on a wild goose chase than it is to get the right directions back to the freeway.

Tomorrow morning, right after I get my oil changed, I'm going to ask for directions. I have no idea who I will be asking, but that's not important. At least not right now.
