The Kindness of Creating Adventure

"Adventure is worthwhile in itself."
~ Amelia Earhart

On a recent evening, I found myself out on a "school night," with one of my children in tow, on a tour of street art in a part of town I don't usually frequent.  We ended up eating dinner late, getting home even later and not quite happy when the alarm clock when off the next morning at its usual time.  But it was fun!

A few nights later, I found myself dancing -- with all of my children -- at a place that I used to frequent in high school.  Back in the day, it required your being 18 or having a fake ID to get in.  But it seems to have evolved into a somewhat family friendly outdoor restaurant with a live band and dj.  We danced until we could not dance any more.

As the group of us left the restaurant, we thanked our hostess and dear friend, who is the queen of creating unusual opportunities for fun and getting us out of our comfort zones in the process.  Her thoughtfulness and kindness take us places we normally wouldn't go.  And in doing so, she helps us to create new adventures.
