It would be appreciated if you would send information as to where you plan to utilize this article.DO YOU HAVE THE MID LIFE BLAHS? ARE YOU THINKING - IS THAT ALL THERE IS? If so I have some ideas and great suggestions to help you find fun, thrill and adventure in your life. Life without adventure surely is like a day without sunshine. If we always continue to draw between lines we miss some of life's spontaneous, exciting and suprising moments. An adventure experience no matter how big or small brings newness,fun and a feeling of self confidence about life. How about planning an adventure for you during this year. It is quite wonderful to step outside of your "comfort zone" and expand your view of world. Adventures bring with them bonus of a new perspective on life. Adventures will stretch your imagination, increase your sense of wellbeing and challenge your resources. The adventure does not necessarily need to be extraordinary nor does it need to be as intense as TV show "Survival." Adventures can easily happen on a daily basis or perhaps just once a year. The best part is that they provide a chance to grow, a place to learn and most of all you can have a great and fun experience. Adventures clearly are not age limited but only limited by your own mind. Tamae Watanabe climbed Mt Everest at 63 years old, Jenny Wood-Allen ran Londaon Marathon at 90 years old, Fauja Singh ran London Marathon at 93 years old with Adidas signing him up for their "nothing is impossible campaign" and Anne Cleveland will try, at 48 years old, to swim a double English Channel (England-France-England) in August, 2004.

Me Time – have you heard of it? We hear of it all time on TV or in articles. It is time alone and it is wonderful. Ideally, we should have about one hour a day of Me Time. But, let’s be totally realistic, as a Mother, there will be times when Me Time is impossible to find, much less schedule. Of course, these will be days when we are desperate for it, so I say, “Let’s be sneaky!” See if you can try a version of one of suggestions below to sneak in some Me Time. Keep books on tape in car with you. They can be novels, inspirational or even a new language. If you are in traffic or spending a few hours as a taxi Mom, turn it into Me Time by listening to a tape. Carry books, magazine articles, your journal or your favorite craft with you all time. You can transform waiting time into Me Time.
