Wanderlust- what's your definition?

WANDERLUST- whats your definition?

 

Wanderlust- these are my two favorite definitions. Typically, it is the unconditional desire and need to want to travel and experience the world. I definatly have this syndrome.

The average life expectancy is about 75 years, give or take. Thats 657,000 hours in the average person's life. Let's say most people get a job after college and work a normal 40 hour workweek (i know, thats rare, most of us work upwards closer to 60)- that brings you down to 210,240 available hours from the ages of 23-75. Almost there, bear with me now....Sutract a 40 hour workweek, and you have 139,144 available hours to sleep, eat, run errands, workout, live your life, and do whatever else it is you need to do. After an 8 hour sleep day (which again most of us do not get), that leaves you with  72 free hours per week!!
Now, with that being said, what are you doing with your time? If something happened tomorrow, if you became deathly ill, if you became paralized, tramautized, or lost someone close to you in your life, what would you do? Chances are you would look back and wish you could change things. But why do that?

Brings me back to my point...uh hum...sorry. =) "Take advantage of every minute you have," is my day to day motto. I book my minutes and times and weeks to the tee so I can experience everything I can in this short time we are on earth! I would say a good chunk of my life is devoted to seeing the world! I save lots of money and put in lots of time and effort to do something this important to me. Whats your wanderlust? Maybe it isn't traveling. Maybe it's crafting, or photography, or reaching a goal you have. It can be anything! I love creating experiences to gather my friends and family together. I thrive on working out and scuplting my body and creating food masterpieces. I love my family and my husband and my babygirl lucy!

Just some Thursday inspiration....take this as your "throwback thursday" and bring what you have to the table! =) For more inspiration, try reading Into The Wild by John Krakauer. It is one of my favorite books ever about a man who gives all his money to charity, picks up his life and backpacks into the wilderness, living only out of a shellpack. It is great!
