The Kindness of Adventure... and a List

"Life is an adventure, it's not a package tour."
~ Eckhart Tolle

I have not gone camping in more than a couple of decades -- since sleep-away camp before I was a teenager.  But I somehow became intrigued with a one-night camping adventure that a mom friend and her family have done before, and before I knew it, I had actually signed up for this year's event -- which is tonight! 

I had been hoping to have a few hours this morning to tie up some loose ends at work and then prepare, but life got in the way and I found myself rush-rushing again.  My mom friend, who is going again with her family, called as I was trying to figure out how I would get everything done.  "I am going to make a list for you of what you need to bring," she said.  "I got you into this."  Well, I don't think she did -- at least not in a bad way.  I must admit that I have found myself on a number of adventures with her that I probably would not have experienced otherwise, but I am always glad that she inspires me out of my comfort zone.  And I was very grateful for the list.  Wish me luck!
