The Hobbit Highway...The Last Day.

There are so many opportunities in life. Everyone has them. Sometimes they are expansive and sometimes not.  An awful lot of us use others and our every day situations to avoid these opportunities. Namely our husbands, our kids, our jobs, our yards, our pets, our health concerns, our fears. I would hope that if you are really intent on enjoying your time on this earth, you will not use the people in your life or your obligations as excuses to keep you tethered to the mundane. If you really want an adventure, you just have to decide that what you are doing will be one!

If you are ready to accept the opportunities life is offering you, than I suggest you decide if you want to experience them on your own or if you want to go with a friend. And, if you want to go with a friend then you better make certain the friend you take is your Bestie!!

 While on a motorcycle adventure:

Only a Bestie can understand your need to snack at night even though you have stuffed yourself with Mexican food just hours before.

Only a Bestie will tolerate your ADHD brain trying to unwind at the end of a long ride...your body exhausted but your mind still wanting to go, go, go and absorb every moment; take in all stimulation!

Only a Bestie can understand that, after she falls over on YOUR most prized possession while on HER most prized possession, you don't feel angry,  you feel bonded!

Only a Bestie will follow your instructions for curing hiccups by nearly breaking a rib as she takes a header off a twin bed...and let you video it! ....and then laugh hysterically for the next three days while you recount it to anyone who will listen! 

Only a Bestie will lead you through a red light and laugh.

Only a Bestie will keep going straight when you turn right.....do a u-turn and find her way back to you....all the while knowing that it is just more fodder for Bestie's Corner and many hours of hilarity!

Only a Bestie will listen to your endless ideas for new adventures, new ways to start a new career, new ways to impact the world in positive ways......need I go on??

Only a Bestie trusts you to keep her safe over hill and dale, and only a Bestie knows it is all about living life to its fullest every day because we just are not guaranteed anything more.

Opportunities for living your life to its fullest do not require money, or special clothing. They do not require the right gear or the right weather...a grand plan or great food. They require your commitment to make whatever comes your way an unforgettably, wonderful experience! And if you have a Bestie to share them with then you are, indeed, blessed!

Go live with joyful abandon and as though being kind and loving are the only things that count in the afterlife! If you want to live your life to its fullest, then you need to live it.....in between the cracks!
