I recently posted something that I wrote May 4th about my deep urge to travel. I should have shared it the day I wrote it, but I was doing my best not to put pressure on myself, and to instead just do something.
Which I actually did.
It wasn’t anything crazy.
No epic, glorious, self-inspired vacation.
It was something though.
I stopped writing, and typed one sentence into the search bar.
“Things to do with kids nearby this weekend.”
I found a blog post with an entire list of interesting things to do in the area.
I picked one, got myself and the kids ready, and off we went.
We rode a tiny train around a gorgeous park. Then we played on one of the coolest playgrounds I’ve ever seen. We even got to eat some delicious italian ice.
The park was almost as far away as the beach is from where we live, but it ended up being a really great day. A day that was unique, and interesting, and so much fun.
We just got in the car, and went.
Apparently that method works pretty well for me.
I still haven’t renewed passports, or figured out a big vacation, or even a small one, but I’m making the effort.
Small steps are still steps.
Small steps still move you forward.
Sometimes small steps can lead to bigger ones.
So, for now, I will keep taking small steps, and see where they lead me.
Hopefully somewhere beautiful.
