you can say which was or is the greatest experience or adventure or thing that you have done in your life. Do you consider it something wild, scary, challenging or anything that tested your courage and belief in your self. For me, the greatest adventure in my life is anything that scare me. not necessarily because of there is something dangerous ahead or something that will threaten my safely. It could just be like meeting some important people that always give me shiver and scare just seeing them. Like you don't know how to react when you see them. Just like you have this unexplainable reaction or hesitation to meet them though you really want to see them. That for me was, is and will be something that challenge my courage and is considered as one of the greatest adventure of my life.

I've had a lot of really great adventures in my lifetime. Once I realized that life is pretty much what you make of it, I set out to create some good memories for when I'm so old all I have are my memories. I won a Caribbean cruise, a one-week all-expense-paid trip through the Caribbean islands on a 43 foot sailboat. It was AWESOME! I won a contest to meet The Rolling Stones and get front-row tickets to one of their concerts. That was also awesome! When I was 27, I bought a house that needed extensive repairs, not having any idea how to do most of what was needed, but thinking that it would be such an adventure in learning. I was right! My car broke down 180 miles from home once and, instead of getting upset since there was not much I could do about it that night, I decided to enjoy the adventure. I had a blast! I drove 600 miles south of where I lived once, just to see how far I could drive in one day and to enjoy the little "vacation". That was a lot of fun, too. I met some great people along the way. Deciding to have children is quite an adventure! That's a lifelong commitment you're making. I have never had a moment's regret, either. Actually, I consider every day an adventure. You never know what is around the next corner. Life itself is an adventure, even when it seems very hard. We may have no control over what happens to us but we DO have control over how we react to it.

yes i realized and learned life is what you make of it. and you are right when you said we have control on how we react on things . but i learned it too late but i guess i should live life with this knowledge and not any more let just life slip by on me. anyways, you seem to have really lots of adventure in life. i had lots also of experience but not that great adventure or pleasant one mostly. they are mostly things i rather not talk about and will just want to forget about it. some were nice though. some were scary and made me worry in a way.
