I have an adventurers heart, my "live-in" gardener, not so much. I love it when I find a friend that likes to take adventures with me. My "live-in gardener" loves to be snuggled in his chair, reading. Now nothing wrong with that for sure, I like that too. But I do anticipate adventures from time to time.
The dictionary says an adventurer is "someone who seeks dangerous or exciting experiences: a person who looks for adventures". Not all my adventures are dangerous for sure, but I do occasionally like a bit of a thrill.
Those are all a bit "terrifying", but fun. This is just what my adventurers heart loves. As a young girl I would do crazy stunts on my bicycle or climb a tree and swing from the branches. This terrified our neighbors. They were sure I was going to kill myself.
Do you have an adventurers heart or would you prefer being tucked by the fireplace with a good book? A good book can be an adventure for sure. Right now, I am reading a book by Joyce Maynard, The Bird Hotel, and it has taken me to a lake by a volcano in Mexico. Oh, how even a book can whisk us away on an adventure.
Sending Love,
Marilyn

I love being at home, but I also like a bit of adventure, which can be as simple as a walk by the beach. There's always something interesting to observe. Of course, I enjoy grander adventures, too, although I don't think I'd like to do a balloon trip. Your grandson will have many happy memories.
Home is my favorite place to be, and at my age, I don't really seek adventure. I do love to see waterfalls and go out to a good restaurant and visit small charming towns. But back in the day, get me on a wild horse, and it was a thrill. I had many adventures on motorcycles, horses, carnival rides, and more. But my heart is content to just be home with a good movie and good food. ; )
