The Adventure Begins…

The Adventure Begins…

Tomorrow!!!

Tomorrow at this time, I’ll be in Guatemala. I’m so excited!

I’ll be heading to my friend’s place first and be there through Saturday afternoon. And then from there heading into the jungles of Guatemala and other cool places.

Wow – my first solo trip. It is sooo surreal.

I’ll be bringing my camera with me and my laptop – so I’ll try to blog while I’m there as long as I have internet access, which might be unlikely – but at a few hostels I’m staying at should have internet access. :-)

I’m nearly finished packing, just a few more things to do and then I’m off at 6AM in the morning to make a connection in Houston and from there flying into Guatemala City.

Wish me luck!!!!!

Now, if I can only get through the last hours of work…
Enjoy some fun quotes I found on Adventure:

Plunge boldly into the thick of life, and seize it where you will, it is always interesting. – Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

There are two kinds of adventurers; those who go truly hoping to find adventure and those who go secretly hoping they won’t. – Rabindranath Tagore

Adventure is not outside man; it is within. – David Grayson

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears. – Glenn Clark

It is only in adventure that some people succeed in knowing themselves – in finding themselves. – André Gide

Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go. – T. S. Eliot: Quotes

Quote of the Day…

Quote of the Day…

I’m obsessed with the weather… which you can tell by my many posts on the weather.

My mood is affected by the weather – like many other people.

But I find this quote to be hilarious and quite true. Especially for me!

Don’t knock the weather. If it didn’t change once in a while, nine out of ten people couldn’t start a conversation.

-Kin Hubbard

Bible Verse of the Day

Bible Verse of the Day

During my lunch break… I was looking at my bible verse of the day – via a cool Bible Verse Application on my iPhone – and what a fitting bible verse for the start of the year:

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11

Have a great day!

Love…

Love…

To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless – it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.-

- C.S. Lewis
