Yesterday was Paul and my wedding anniversary. Twenty years seems so long but then again not long at all. I think about all that has happened in the last 20 years. We moved 4 times, had a child (who is now 16), raised angora goats, raised cows, created a subdivision and built and lived in a house I designed. There were also many personal accomplishments and experiences that have been overcome such as depression, panic attacks, and asthma.
This makes me wonder about the next 20 years.
Paul gave me a card that said “The Adventure Continues”. That is so appropriate. Life itself is a journey, not a destination, and our journey has been an adventure.
I remember a line in a play where a woman exclaimed that she did not want to have been dead before she died. I also remember a different show where the characters were headed to a funeral and one remarked that the deceased had died years ago. What this is saying is don’t give up the adventure of life until you have to because you are physically dead. Keep learning, experiencing and serving others. Make the best use of this life as you can. Keep your ears and eyes open and who knows what will open up before you; you may be living on the other side of the world this time next year, you never know!
