MAJOR CHANGE OF PLANS


So, we are on Maui for a 4 week windsurfing vacation, when 3 weeks into the trip…MAJOR change of plans!

Have you ever felt like you needed to do something really big? Shake things up a bit, go out on a limb? We all have our definition of what “going out on a limb” is, but for me, a fairly cautious, serious, gal, who’s idea of adventure is parking in a no parking zone or breaking a rule of any kind, taking a sabbatical from work for 3 months and traveling New Zealand in a campervan is a BIG DEAL! I often dream of adventure, but generally do not take any risks. But, for some reason, I have this uncanny feeling that this is something we need to do right now. When we look into the mirror these days, it seems like there is someone else looking back. Someone who is wiser yet a bit softer, gently used, nicely broken in, and seasoned with a little salt and pepper. Some call it middle age, I prefer to see it as your favorite pair of jeans. Just worn enough to be comfortable, but not too old to wear in public. I guess we better get some use out of these jeans before they wear out and have to be retired.
