Motivational Monday! Flemish mapmaker Gerardus Mercator was born on this day in 1512. What's been your reasoning behind going anywhere you once thought before you'd never get to?

I never thought I would write poetry. Then, I started writing on . I learned some things about Haiku. Then, I learned some more in a New Horizons Course about reviewing. Then, I took a course just about writing poetry and learned a lot there, so I'll never be a great poet but it surely is a great way to express yourself.

I wish I had taken Map-making in college. They had a course there but, I couldn't fit it in to my schedule.

I followed my Airforce husband (he is now deceased) to the Panama Canal Zone where he was stationed in 1960's. It was a beautiful place. The social aspect was so different than the USA. It was not nearly so regulated a life style as it is here. I wonder how a map maker would fair in the jungles of South America.

I guess as a Pennsylvania farm girl riding ponies on rural roads I never thought I would get to study dressage and show horses on the A show circuit in Texas, when I was in my twenties, or study to be a professional dog groomer, or become a journalist.

The clue in this prompt is the word reasoning. I can't profess to actually reasoning about learning the many things I've accomplished. Or, visiting the many places I visited. I just found myself in a position to choose to do some things so I grabbed opportunities.

I never actually went on a real fox hunt. I would like to. I would like to learn map making. I would like to train another companion dog. I probably will not get to do all the things that pop into my head but, I will forge onward toward just following adventure where I find it. It's never to late to learn something new or visit a place you have never been. Life is a journey don't be afraid to travel on.

Happy Trails.
