Finding Your Adventure!

Poppy and I enjoyed our share of adventures in 2019. We traveled to at least 4 different states to compete and we traveled through even more states along the way. We had an amazing rhythm to our routine of loading up the car, driving and singing and listening to podcasts while we munched on sausage sticks and popcorn, and made the occasional potty stop. Poppy sniffed her way around many a rest area!

We had similar plans for 2020, but the topsy turvy trail took hold.

Suddenly we had an empty calendar. All of our biggest plans and trips had been canceled.What on earth was going to be our next step to salvaging our year? How would we move forward?

We needed to find our own adventure!

I like to say that, "Everyday begins with P.L.A.Y.", but now we really had to live it....

A clear calendar became a calendar of opportunity! We could fill it in with whatever adventure my mind could imagine. A positive mindset and repeating, "Present Life Awaits You! Place Love Around You!", about one hundred times a day, became my new normal. Each time I said it aloud, I felt like anything was possible! One day the words, "Finding the adventure in your everyday, EVERY day!", just rolled off my tongue and I paused. YES!!!! The adventure awaits!!

Who cares about the empty calendar? We can make our day fun and be grateful for creating our day of P.L.A.Y.! Appointments are written in black on my schedule and everything else has a color attached. Admittedly, I use a lot of pens when I fill out my planner. Right now, it is full of color and fun and we are finding our adventure. The calendar is empty no more.

Sure the vacation plans have changed and the type of adventures have changed, but the adventures are real nonetheless. We are finding the adventure in our own backyard and embracing the P.L.A.Y.!!

Say it with me. Speak it loudly!

"PLaY Like a Puppy! Present Life Awaits You! Place Love Around You! Find the adventure in your everyday, EVERY day!!!"

I guarantee saying that phrase will make you feel better! Your mindset will help boost your wellness and you will have some very happy dogs who will gladly join you on the daily adventures, no matter how silly, or as you see in the picture above, no matter the costume choices.

Yoda might say it best, "In wellness, go forth you will." Find your adventure and P.L.A.Y.! Today and every day, PLaY Like a Puppy!!
