AdventureMan Wishes He Were There

I love our road trips. We always catch up on thoughts and pursuits that may seem to trivial in the activities of our normal busy days. It’s a time to talk over dreams, and hopes, and to sketch out some broad outlines of goals and calendars.

“Sometimes I read your blog,” AdventureMan starts off (and I never know where it will go!) “and I think ‘oh what a fun woman! I wish I were there with her having that adventure!’ and then I realize I was there!”

LLLOOOLLL!

People have told me I can make something out of nothing. I think the gift is knowing you are having a good time at the time you are having the good time. 🙂

    • Of course you agree! You might be my brother; you practice the same philosophy. 🙂

  3. Wise words, my friend. Trying to stay “in the moment” and looking for the daily good times here 🙂

    Oh my sweet Grammy, you have always been happier than you know! You radiate calm serenity!

  6. LLLOOOLLL, Daggero! In our family, we call “blarney” which is the Irish word for another common two-syllable phrase commonly used to indicate belief that the speaker may be elaborating, or embellishing, or flattering, etc. . . i.e. stretching the truth, as in “I call ‘blarney'”, LOL!

    I am something of a weaver, metaphorically speaking. 🙂
