Love this. I was explaining your ideas to my wife and daughter; they loved them and subscribed! Micro adventures are the future, and I hope your other readers feel the same. Loved the Perfect Couple too but wished they would have developed the husband Tag a little for me. Great approachable writing as ever.
I'm with you in theory! ♥️ Like, a lot. But in practice, this is not so easy. It's a lot easier in summer, when days are really long, but as soon as that light-dark scale tips... And it's possible on days when I work from home, but after hours spent in the company of ppl, and commuting for almost an hour, my introvert self is usually so exhausted that I can only do the minimum dog walk. And yes, that can become a little adventure if I have the brain space to look around the forest and explore, but often at this point I'm woozy from hunger and tiredness and then by the time I've eaten something it's dark outside. And I'm not complaining, I have the privilege of being able to work from home often and I do prioritize time for adventure and exploration and art-making whenever I can, but on "regular" days the 5-9 is taken up with keeping me and my dog alive and fed. 🤷♀️
I don't mean to sound so negative. I have to spend a lot of days at the office at the moment and that is making me a bit grumpy and rage-against-the- machine-like.
I do have a cute advebture story from this week: my niece and nephew have picked up from me that "adventure" means going off the beaten path, so on our walks in the forest, my 2-and-a-half-year-old nephew likes to wander off into the underbrush. He'll just go off at a 90° angle at any given moment and start stomping his little way through moss and rocks and fallen branches and in between young trees. When we all him where he's going he just says he's going on a "venture". He dissapears for minutes and we just hear his little voice narrating what he's seeing ("a mushroom! no touching, just look. a stick. oh, it breaks." and so on) Sometimes he comes back when we call him, sometimes I or my sister have to dive in to fetch him. Very proud to have taught them the concept of adventures! 😆🤣🌿😂
