"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
- Mark Twain
I was reading a good friend and mentor's blog today and she has this quote as one of her entries, below a story she wrote about when she really began living life out loud, her junior year in college. She was in Europe, studying abroad, and she bought a pass that lets you travel from country to country in Europe, called a Eurail pass. It was expensive, but she reasoned that she'd never get the chance to do it again. It was a risk worth taking.
I'm trying to reinvent myself, because I'm kind of sick of this kind of Sarah. I'm turning back into the Sarah I left in Illinois when I first left for Missouri, 23 months ago. I loved the new Sarah, but her life needed more than just a facelift. My life needs plastic surgery, from the inside out.
I'm craving some real, genuine rest and joy and fun and peace. And I think I need to take a journey to track it down . . .
