Hello there! Welcome to my blog. As you’ve probably gathered, my name’s Emma, and this is something I’ve never tried before. Those are my favourite kinds of things – things that you’ve never tried before. There are so many options, so many never-tried-befores, you’d have to spend a lifetime trying to do them all.
I suppose that’s what you call an adventure.
Adventures have always fascinated me. I’ve always been a big reader – I was the one sitting in the corner of the classroom with my nose in a book. And if I didn’t have my nose in a book then it would be covered in pencil smudgings whilst I was drawing the adventures that I had that day or will have tomorrow or wish I would have once upon a future.
Adventures can be whatever you want them to be. As massive as expeditions across the earth. Or as small as a climb up a tree.
The small ones are my favourite kind. They’re the ones that you can have every day. They’re the ones that may sometimes be similar but never quite the same. They’re the ones that bring smiles on people’s faces and warmth into their hearts. They’re the ones that make you giggle with giddiness with the prospect of what you’re about to do or sigh with contentment when perusing through the memories of your day. The small adventures are the ones that pile together and create one big adventure – an adventure that lasted you a lifetime.
That’s what I hope I will have the chance to look back on when I’ve lived my life. A life full of adventures. Big ones and little ones. Lots and lots of little ones.
And this website, this blog – this is one of those little adventures. Whether you are the only person who has read this entry, or whether thousands of eyes have read it, I am so grateful for the opportunity to share this adventure – and the other little ones that I hope to record in this blog – with you.
Buckle up! We’re stepping out. Let’s see what tomorrow brings.
