# Take the Challenge


Today is a beautiful day to move our bodies. Mr. Mindful Traveller and I are playing in a pickleball tournament. A few years ago if you would have asked me if that was going to happen, I would have laughed and answered highly unlikely. We have come a long way from the people we used to be. We try not to back away from challenges not only on the court but in life too. Challenges are defined as anything you see that tests you, or that makes you grow. I challenge you to find opportunities to travel. Opportunities will come, you either accept them or you shrug them off. These opportunities don't always look the same. Maybe you make a trip out of visiting someone's aging parent, so you take a road trip with a friend. Life is short don't miss out. Maybe, you get invited to join friends on vacation. Maybe, work has a conference you can attend. Accept the challenge and your life will be filled with more rewarding experiences, who knows you might end up across the court from us at a pickleball tournament.

Yours setting and conquering challenges, Ms. Mindful Traveller
