Hi Lisis,
I love the picture that goes along with this post…how awesome!
Thank you so much for this post…I needed something like this to start my day. Life is definitely an adventure and am happy that your husband along with his friends were able to summit Mt. Quandry (great name for a moutain) without any economic assistance. Goes to show you the power of human will! 
Good Morning, Nadia! Happy Monday!!! I am glad you are up early with me because this “Spring Ahead” time change is not being kind to me today.
I’m glad you liked the post. I really enjoy starting off the week with this Adventure Series because it gets us fired up to get out and do something… ANYthing! We just need to be “sufficiently motivated.” There must be something adventurous we’ve been wanting to try. Now is the time. No excuses.
=-)
Loved it Lisis! Thank you for the good reading and motivation while drinking my coffee this morning!!
Hi Again,
I know what you mean about the time change not being kind. It was so hard to get up this morning but oh well…overall, life is good, so I should not complain!
You are right about the whole adventurous thing. Have you read the book “No Opportunity Wasted’? Based on the books you have on the right, I think you would love this book. (Btw, I love all the books you have there.) Kind of fits in with what you are saying in this post.
@ Nadia: I have not read that book, but I will find it and add it to my bookshelf (and reading list… which does not seem to be getting any shorter!)
@ Istina: It’s so nice to have you aboard our Quest! For those of you who do not know her, Istina is my sister… my MUCH, MUCH older sister.
Ha! Maybe a teensy bit older.
Hi Lisis!
You know, I don’t foresee myself scaling snowy summits any time soon, but (man) climbing mountains is such a metaphor for life!
Every time I see pictures like these I’m inspired to keep reaching for my goals.
Each step, no matter how small, brings us closer to our destination. We will get there if we only keeping moving upwards one little at a time.
Thanks again, Lisis!
I’ve done multi-day hikes before, but nothing like that. It sounds like a great adventure.
I guess most of the time I don’t feel that I need to plan any adventures. My life seems to be spontaneously adventuresome already.
@Michael and @Roger: I am so glad you guys brought up these points because I am planning future Spirit of Adventure posts about them.
This coming Monday is all about simple family adventures for those of us who are not scaling imposing summits any time soon (Michael). The following Monday will be about the OTHER way to have an adventurous spirit, which is: you don’t have to go looking for it, but you are always open to it in everyday life.
Thanks for stopping by, guys! Always nice to see you here.
Enjoyed your post. We don’t take enough downtime – let alone time for adventure. I love to hike and you’ve inspire me to go sooner than later! @judymartin8
Hi Lisis,
This an awesome inspiration to get moving in life. That’s what it’s really about right, finding your passion or inspiration. I love reading this stuff. Keep it coming. Thanks, Mel
@Judy: Hi! I’m so glad you stopped by, and that you are inspired to get out there and play. I just added you on twitter and noticed your bio, “on the elusive quest for worklife serenity.” Nicely put! Perhaps you’ll join my quest and we’ll find it together(?) =-)
@ Melissa: I’m glad you like reading it ’cause it is gonna keep coming. I’m also glad to see you here. Finding your passion is easier than it seems: you just have to stop looking outside of yourself. The answers are all in you. Convenient, don’t you think?
