Life takes so many crazy turns. This past year has provided more than enough evidence of that.
I have changed and grown in countless ways. I became a full fledged adult, and by that I mean I graduated college, started a job at a Fortune 500 company, and got married. If that doesn't spell out A-D-U-L-T, I don't know what does! In order to accomplish any of these things, and be good at them, there is an element of responsibility that infuses itself into your life. So here I am on a Saturday morning, drinking coffee, doing dishes and laundry, and thinking about how insane it is that I have kept a houseplant alive for almost a month now!
The funniest part is I am more than satisfied with that. I have been part of creating a home with someone special. I have pledged to love that someone until the day I die. I own a real vacuum, and a washer, and a dryer. I am settling in, and I am happy.
But no matter how wonderful this life I live is, there is a part of me that aches to see every inch of this glorious world that God created. I want to touch the native grasses. I want to swim in the clear waters. I want to breathe in the scent of the breeze. In every place that ever existed. I want to hike through dense vegetation, and find abandoned structures.
I want to tell the stories buried beneath the surface.
The same God that gave me the strength to be still and responsible, touched my heart and lit my gypsy soul. He also brought me a traveling buddy.
So with that, I am excited to see what this New Year holds. I will be more than adventurous, but the spirit of adventure is where it all begins.
Cheers from my couch,
Lacy Bri
