The kids are in half-day summer camp this week. E is doing golf. C and H are in “Team Games”. They seem to like it well enough (they were bursting with stories about the games they played and kids they met). I am very excited for them – they get to try new things and meet new people.
I wish there were summer camps for grown-ups (are there?). I would love to try something new for a week: learn how to play gaga, or tennis, or maybe even volleyball. Even if it’s just for a couple of hours each day… But that is exactly the problem, isn’t it? Where do I get those extra 2 hours? Between work, household stuff, kids… I guess it could be done if I took some time off work.
It’s not like I am bored. I have plenty to do (both chores and fun stuff). I have at least some daily leisure time (typically in the evening) – I chose to spend it reading books, or watching movies, or playing the piano. I go on walks – sometimes with kids, sometimes by myself. I go on bike rides.
It’s just that… I am kind of in the mood for something exciting… something new, something (a little bit) outside the comfort zone.
I feel like a hobbit who is considering going on an adventure: sounds dangerous, so perhaps better stay home… but also sounds fun and exciting… but what about breakfast, elevenses, and lunch?
Dear reader, what is your favorite adventure?
