It’s just… Perfectly stated.

What Will We Accomplish Today!?
When I get the kids up some days… I ask them this….
— What are we going to accomplish today? What are we going to get done (together…. as a team)?
Some days my list of “To-Do” — is as simple as #1 – Relax, Breathe, Be Grateful, Laugh
I’m hoping that when they face adversity they can look at it and consider it something positive that has been laid in front of them. Trusting that it will all work out (whatever it may be) and continue to do the right thing (whatever that may be) at the time….
We do a lot of “HAPPY THOUGHTS” here….
We do a lot of praise.
We do a lot of “I’m sorry because I did _______ and Will you forgive me?”
I’m hoping when life knocks them down… they can get back up with a smile on their face and determination in their hearts/souls and keep on trucking with the best during the worst….
I think your attitude has a lot to do with what happens to you in your life.
If you are thrown a whole bunch of horrible things one after another and think woe is me…. then chances are likely you will not see the light that can come out of that experience…
If you look at it as a new challenge or learning opportunity then even in the worst of times you can power through to another day.
Travelling with kids. Travelling at all… Trying something new… Not having a clue about the future…. Putting everything on the line…. hoping for the best…..
No job lined up. No place to live figured out. No real PLAN for the future.. BAHAHAHAAA It’s Hilariously SCARY!
Some may say I’m crazy. I think I just put my trust in something and think no matter what everything will turn out okay in the end (or so I hope).
I know I have today though… and I know today counts… today is what matters.. and the next few weeks… the mornings… that turn into afternoons… which will inevitably become evenings leading into nights…. The sun will rise tomorrow… and to that I am grateful. Today is awesome. I just hope tomorrow is too!
I hope my children can take away some sort of road schooling education from this trip… something worth more than what textbooks can offer them…. A year ago they didn’t know desert, mountains, jet skis, pontoons, boathouses, etc…. But now…. They’ve seen the desert… They KNOW different animals, weather patterns, culture, plants like a cactus (And the girly girl knows it all too well as she had a needle in her rump a few months ago after leaning a little too close to a pretty one)…
They are so young still.. but I hope they learn how to speak their mind.. hope they learn how to face adversity as well as RESPECTFULLY face the education system (educators/administrators) that they are a part of….. I do not know how to INSTILL a desire to learn in them… TO INSTILL the mentality to readily use and take what you can from teachers, mentors, people at the market, or whoever you can (knowledge is so limitless)… Time. Time. Time….

You Only Live Once
When are you going to go somewhere or try something new?
What are you going to do with yourself that is incredibly awesome today?
Whose life can you possibly influence in a positive way?
A New and Different Sun
Fuel….
“make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things which you may previously never have thought of doing, or been too hesitant to attempt.
So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future.
The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure.
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
If you want to get more out of life, you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear to you to be crazy.
But once you become accustomed to such a life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty.”
― Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild
Serenity. Wisdom. Courage
My mother used to say this one all the time.
It has a good backbone I think. 🙂
My mothers favorite saying….. so true.
Travel = Joy
THIS makes me exuberant. I had to share. 🙂 Happy Travels !!!!!
Everything else seems to fade away when you see and experience the sheer wonder of what this world has to offer ……
(just makes me over sad how SO MANY PEOPLE have no clue or don’t respect the vast beauty of what’s right in front of them)

It’s a Helluva Life…
Well we all have faith, and we all have hope,
But we’re all a little lost in the same damn boat.
It’s a helluva life, it’s a helluva life.
Something bout the night girl,
When you got the right girl,
Sittin right beside you,
Lookin at the sky, girl
Thinkin bout why we’re here,
And where we’re goin,
Baby, here we are,
And all I know is…Pennies make dimes and dimes make dollars,
Dollars buy gas and longneck bottles,
Beer gets a barefoot country girl swayin,
To a song that’s playin and the world starts fadin’.
Bad times make the good times better,
Look in her eyes and you’re gone forever,
It’s a helluva ride… Yeah, It’s a helluva life.
It
is
a
Helluva Life
🙂
