Today’s adventure was a real toughie for me. Truth be known, I’m going to have to set up a new blog category for this type of challenge . The category will be called “Near Death Experiences”.
Watch me as I taste the vegetable equivalent of poorly prepared fugu (a Japanese puffer fish delicacy).
As is the case with fugu , I am now convinced that domestic preparation of this vegetable may lead to accidental death.
This was the first time I tasted this vegetable. It will also be the last time. I count myself lucky to have survived.
Don’t you think that there is something about this time of year that encourages us to turn inward? It’s almost like the dark Winter nights have their own voices : whispering at us incessantly , urging us to remember something really important , trying to awaken us from our life-drowsiness.
It turns out that sooner or later you really do have to stop and pay attention. As December 2013 marched on, the whispers became louder and eventually I decided to take a look at what was calling me.
I got to thinking about the kind of life I am living now and the kind of life I want to live. I got to remembering all the really adventurous things I used to do – and how alive adventuring made me feel. I got to realising that for the past 2 years, I’ve let adventure fall by the wayside.
So this is me standing up and answering the call to adventure. Today I’m declaring 2014 to be my year of adventure, the year I’m going to reconnect with the spirit of adventure , the year that I create the opportunity for adventure wherever I am. I’m going to adventure every single day for 365 days.
And here’s me on my first adventure today, starting off at basecamp :
And reaching the summit :
So there you go, I’m the first person in the world to achieve this mighty feat. How cool is that? 😛
