Daily Post Photo Challenge – Anticipation

On December 20, 2016December 20, 2016 By Isobar ExpeditionsIn Photo Challenge1 Comment

For those that celebrate Christmas, there is always much anticipation for Christmas morning, seeing your children and loved ones open their gifts, seeing the joy and happiness in their eyes. For those of us who travel frequently, it is often the anticipation of the next journey that fills our hearts with suspense and excitement as we think of the next sight that we will see or location that we will visit. Sometimes we put too much emphasis on what we might see, get, or do next rather than enjoying the simple pleasures of day-to-day life. As a wise friend of ours once said, “every day that the ground is below your feet instead of above your head, is a good day”. With that in mind, we hope to have many interesting and fun filled days in the future, but what we anticipate the most is simply another day together, sharing our journey through life and this wonderful world.

Just on the Horizon

As another year draws to a close, we often reflect on the year that has been as well as think about the future ahead of us. We don’t tend to dwell too much on the past or worry too much about what may lie ahead as we have seen plans come and go within the blink of an eye. Instead, we prefer to live in the moment while still preserving the memories of the times that we have shared. When we say that we don’t dwell in the past, we mean that we do not think about what might have been, what things we wish we would have done, or generally feel regrets about lost opportunities. Life tends to happen whether you stress and worry about it or not, so one of our favorite sayings is that we have made mistakes, but have no regrets as we wouldn’t be the people that we are without those experiences, both good and bad. This week’s Daily Post Photo Challenge – New Horizon asks that we share a new perspective for the new year or something that we would like to accomplish in the upcoming months. We love looking off to the horizon, wondering what treasures and sights might lie just beyond, but we aren’t making any grandiose plans. Our goal for the year ahead is to continue to travel whenever possible, share those experiences as best as we can, grow closer as a couple, and be the best world citizens that we possibly can be. We hope that the New Year brings to all of you many happy days and those things that make you feel fulfilled and satisfied. Here are a few photos of the horizon to get us all thinking about the year ahead.

There is Nothing Like a Beach

We usually head to a beach around this time of year and, when we do, we use it a true vacation and not as travel. There is nothing more relaxing than sitting on a beach and watching the waves roll onto the shore. Perhaps we will find a beach to visit in the upcoming week’s, but for now we will have to think back on some previous visits. The Daily Post Photo Challenge this week is Relax and we chose these photos from Cabo San Lucas to help put ourselves in a beach state of mind.
