Curiosity, Commonsense, and Courage

I’ve been classified as crazy, stupid, or just a wonderment to many who know me. Some of my choices may have seemed foolish and maybe even daring, but in my seventh decade of life, there was always a method to my decisions – a trilogy of sorts: Curiosity, Commonsense, and Courage.

Curiosity

I continually wonder about what life, people and cultures are about, other than my own. What would it be like to live like them for a day, a week, or even years?

Commonsense

I call this my set of triaging skills from everything I have learned in life, from birth until now, and I use them in a variety of ways.  These are my critical thinking skills.

Courage

Some people call me brave for the places I’ve been or the things I’ve done. I believe I have a high-risk tolerance. This characteristic was built on a lifetime of experiences.

The common denominator in all of these is that “I do not let fear rule me.” I utilize fear that is justified and is ever-present just under the surface, but I am not paralyzed by the “what ifs.” You will hear more about my life experiences and travels (past and present) as I often “bump the edge”. I’m rarely satisfied with the superficial, but dig for a deeper meaning. I have several blogs in the queue that I can’t wait to share. Curiosity killed the cat!! Not me. Welcome aboard!
