born to explore!

 
 
I have always craved adventure. And I always was striving for the next one. When you begin to work every day, all day and only have a couple days off a week, you begin to need adventure. I NEED AN ADVENTRUE. I need to feel the trees, blowing in the wind, their sweet sweet smell of pine and maple. I need to feel uneven ground, get a little dirty, and feel the demand of my body to move forward. I need to feel the air outside… oh what a concept. Outside. I sit in a cubicle, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. I am blessed, like I say all the time... I have a big window. I’m blessed again, but I want more than to look outside while breathing inside air. I long to be out, in the warm, cold air. I guess when you are locked up for so long your body starts craving the outside.

 
So I decided to adventure, this Spring, Summer and Fall. I have a couple friends and my boyfriend who are in for the challenge. I’m going to push myself to backpack, hike, swim, climb, camp and get lost a couple times. To not only get my body in shape and strong, but to get into the beautiful outdoors that God has created for us to explore.


I have learned that to heal my body from the constant sitting and non-moving every day, I need to move on the weekends, and move a lot. To fill the void of non-fresh air, I need to get in the air, the mountains, the desert and fields. I need to wander and be places untouched, silent and calm. I want to hear my breath and nothing more. I want to be surrounded by trees and fill my lungs till I can't anymore.
 
I want to get lost. and then find myself again.

here. i am starting new. i feel like i have said that so many times. and i have. i really have.... sigh. how is this time different from the rest? i have always been strong, carefree, spontaneous, adventuresome, life-is-too-short-kinda-way girl. but something in the last year has turned my insides into a different place. i ignore my body, i ignore my inner self CRYING out. stop. stop. please just stop. i have put everyone else in front of myself. i have decided to take care of everyone and everything before i get in some time for me. to take care of my body. my mind. my faith. my heart. even as i type this, i am thinking of dinner i need to make tonight and the laundry, vacuuming, sweeping, oh and the dog needs to be walked. yes, and i can pay those bills later too........ where is my health, wellbeing SELF fit into this? my face shows the beat down i have been giving my internal organs. food after food after lack of good exercise, good movement. i am planting a garden out back - h...

one life to live.

i have been slacking in the photo department. getting a little caught up in the moments and forgetting to capture them. I sat with a group of friends the other night, looking at the sunset. Grabbed my iPhone and was like " I HAVE TO GET A PIC OF THIS SUNSET." but i just could't quite capture the light the way it sat in the distance. and then i realized. just enjoy the moment Megan, just take it in and tuck it away and an amazing memory. one that you can pull out another day and laugh about. so i tucked my phone away, and just went back to living. Some moments are meant to be captured and shared. Some, just to be enjoyed. So friends, I challenge you... capture moments on film. But also, live them.
