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. ; )
I'm so wishing for any type of adventure - right now can't even get to the mailbox without dressing in layers and non-slip boots! The ice is treacherous and it's SO cold!
Thanks dear for your kind greetings wishing Bob comfort in these difficult days. Tell Jim I'm sorry there was no card this birthday, can't even go shopping - but we were thinking of him and wishing him a happy day.
Much love. Mary xx
Your grandson will forever treasure those terrifying adventures! What a great way to advance his 'brave meter'. My niece was scared of some of the rides at Disney when she was younger - her 'brave meter' jumped up after those rides. No longer terrified, but eager to 'do it again'!
