Still talking about my daily read and writes for the month of January and not even at the halfway point yet. In the months time I read bits and pieces of all of these through the day and month plus so much more on Nook, prime, and online - especially essays, #writersresources articles and news topics and more. It's a LOT in a day/month! I am a seeker of knowledge, emotion, heart, story, adventure, balance, and self. At random in a day I'll read bits and pieces of many things. These shared this month are my January reads. Adventure is a big part of my life. I am constantly wanting to seek, see, do. I remember laughing out loud once at a guy describing his life and then telling him to "step outside his four corners". I dated that guy for a short time afterward... Why? At the time I mistook him for stability in my unstable world. More of what I should be and not what I was. I tried to conform. I've made this mistake multiple times. Boredom and bored stuck people are not the same as stable. Joe and I, my partner now many years later bonded first and foremost over travel and adventure and dreams of seeking. We've lived that ever since. He is actually an incredibly stable person and partner to me and yet he has lived and will live a life of adventure with twists and turns AND be able to handle what life holds around those bends. And he can handle my spirit without trying to tame it as most (all) exes have. He even encourages it beyond limits. Anyway, relationship adventures are another story... I love hiking. Backpacking, trail running, rock climbing, finding every hidden neat swimming hole in Summertime, among so much more so this year I'm back at adding backpackers magazine to my list among many books and other material for travel and adventure, passion and hobbies. The magazine motivates me and teaches me but also I'll travel because it gives me a lot of idea and what-to-do ease in that aspect. Heck, I've traveled from San Antonio to Charleston following an article about biscuits. #betterme #amreading #january2020 #januaryreads #amdoing #backpacker #backpackerlife #backpackers #backpacking #backpackermag #backpackermagazine #hiking #Adventure https://www.instagram.com/p/B7oIf0ugGqj/?igshid=n6m4t6m4siga
