Adventure is a word we throw around most weekends. \u201cWhat should we do this Saturday, Girls?\u201d my husband will ask our two daughters and me.
\n\u201cGo on an adventure,\u201d we\u2019ll chime back.<\/p>\n

We are on the go a lot. At certain points, we\u2019ve skipped over an ocean to see a new place. We\u2019ve driven cross-country with both kids more times than most will do in a lifetime. A time or two, we\u2019ve even packed up all of our belongings, moved and started over in a whole new place.<\/p>\n

But this is not what our daughters mean when we ask them what they want to do on a Saturday. Adventure, for us, is a change of perspective. It\u2019s forcing ourselves out of one attitude and into another. It\u2019s shifting locations to shift our hearts.You don\u2019t have to go far to remind yourself that you\u2019re part of something bigger. When the girls were first born and we didn\u2019t have money to spend on weekend activities, we\u2019d pack the leftovers into a picnic basket and just drive toward a water tower to discover a new small town. When we were living in Brooklyn, there were some days the city was too much. We would pack into the car and just head upstate, no destination in mind, just in search of some fresh air and a hint of green. We\u2019ve explored cornfields in the Midwest, caves of ice in the South, waterfalls in the Rocky Mountains, and unexpected streams hidden in a city park. It\u2019s amazing what you can find if you travel just an hour outside of your comfort zone. It\u2019s amazing what you can find when you\u2019re looking for it.<\/p>\n

Adventure is the perfect cure for sorrow, distraction, boredom and wanderlust. It puts you in your place, and it simultaneously reminds you of the endless possibilities available to you. Move your body somewhere new and feel your mind follow. An adventure is simply a change in perspective.<\/p>\n
