What if this is the adventure?

Do you long for Adventure? Whenever I’m asked to set an intention or list my heart’s desire or give my phone a name, the word ADVENTURE crashes into my brain.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I picture a week-long trip to Paris walking every street. A month-long RV trip driving across the United States stopping in every small town. A year-long trip around the world partaking of sumptuous foods. . .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, this morning I was super-definitely NOT on an adventure. I was hurt and upset and overwhelmed. I was stuck in a rut and stuck in my town.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So I pulled out my tried-and-true De-gluminator: taking a walk. An important aspect of a De-gluminator walk is talking to myself. And on this morning, the talk turned to “What If.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Then a thought popped out of nowhere.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What if this IS my adventure? What if every crappy thing hurtling my way is my adventure. Each Soggy landscape. Each Crabby person. Each Boring meal.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What would I do right now if this was my adventure?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❀ I would notice the purple flowers⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❀ I would take off my shoes and stroll home with a sassy walk⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❀ I would be fine in my own skin⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❀ I would open my heart and wait to see what happens next⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is my lifetime. This is my adventure. This is my adventure of a lifetime.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
