I am a big believer – and living proof – that old dogs can learn new tricks. Here I am at 62, hitting the waves, an intrepid Beach Boy, excited and a little scared, happy that I finally learned to swim when my daughter’s needed pool buddies. Our vacation has been quite the adventure so far, first in Costa Rica, now Belize.
It’s been so fun, but it is but a side trip to my life’s adventure – the latest being Ocean Delight (such a great name for it, by the way). I realize I am an explorer, a dreamer, a hard worker, but, above all, an adventurer. The Berry and I are on a wonderful one! A real life journey that dwarfs any planned trip to any jungle of any kind anywhere.
I encourage you to figure out what your ‘surfing’ is – something you’ve always wanted to try, or never dreamed you even have the opportunity to – and go for it. Sure, a Caribbean vacation is a nice place to start, but I guarantee you can find adventure in your backyard. Maybe it’s taking a yoga class, hitting up a sushi restaurant, going wall climbing, finally hiking Signal Hill, learning how to make your own homemade jam. Whatever’s been on your to-do list forever …. well ….. do it! I promise – you won’t regret it!
