Truth

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.

"Could be the windows down on a Sunday drive, The smell of rain on a summer night, Anything that brings a little more comfort my way..."

They say...

Life is what you make it. Think outside the box. Live with an open heart and an open mind and the possibilities are endless. The choices you make determine your outcome. Opportunities are doorways for making great decisions. Live each day as if it is your last. Seize the moment...

Well I don't know how I feel about any of that... Recently I have learned to take babysteps toward mastering living one day at a time.

Why this is important? I am not exactly certain. However, I am well aware that sometimes life breaks itself down to the point where day to day living is the only option.

This is what I am certain of... Once you begin to figure out how live with a new attitude that models a head first outlook to life then great things will begin to happen.

For me, the only way this is possible is by taking great leaps of faith into the unknown.

These are the little things I have found in my days lately that makes me believe it is possible...
Songs with good lyrics, random unexplainable coincidences, a city skyline, a quiet sunset, an email, rain clouds, a conversation around the dinner table, a picture, a smile, a walk in the woods, a cold fall morning, a warm cup of coffee, laughter, one single clear thought, an organized bookshelf, a dance party, an airplane overhead, and 15,000 simple phrases.
