Adventure

I'm very fortunate to be able to participate in yoga. If it's a good week I attend a class twice a week- Tuesday and Thursday. Sometimes our instructor brings a deck of "Angel cards" for us to pick out.
They state and describe various ideals, for example wisdom, patience, acknowledgement etc. There is always an affirmation on the bottom that relates to the card topic.
Last tuesday I chose, (randomly and without looking) ADVENTURE.
In light of what we are about to undertake, I thought it was extremely relevant.
You can say what you like- coincidence, chance, whatever, but I chose to see it as a message and a reminder.

LIFE IS AN ADVENTURE

On Sunday we are about to embark on our biggest adventure in a long time. Sunday evening we fly to Vancouver via Amsterdam arriving in Canada on Monday June 24th.
We'll stay in Vancouver for four days with a sailing friend of Mikes, then we drop him off on the 28th as he heads back to Spain, (yes back) for a regatta in Ibiza.
The children and I will head up to Whistler to visit with my dear friend Caroline then we'll head back to Vancouver to stay at my brother-in-laws aunts, picking up Mike on the 7th of July.

The next part of the journey involves a road trip from Vancouver to Calgary and The Calgary Stampede- YEEHAA!
We then drive to Hood River and the Columbia River Gorge area where we'll stay for nearly a month before heading down to San Francisco. We then make our way back up to Vancouver, to head back to Spain on the 30th of August.

It's almost 2.5 months away. In this time Mike needs to return to Spain twice- Ibiza 4 days after we arrive and Mallorca end of July and he needs to rearrange a flight to get him to Sardinia on the 29th of August, instead of the scheduled departure date of the 30th, (our tickets are non changeable!)

I think that pretty much embodies the concept of Adventure!

The first line of the angel card reads,
"Life is an adventure. Be ready for the unexpected and make the most of all opportunities".
The affirmations states,
"I face the adventure of life eagerly".

Sounds good to me!

This week has been it's own little adventure in preparation for leaving with Mike in Mallorca.
Stay tuned for more on this theme, where finally the title of my blog seems appropriate.
