Playing the waiting game

I have been playing the waiting game for as long as I can remember. Waiting to do this, waiting to do that. Waiting for someone to go out with, do things with, blah, blah, blah... I am sick of waiting. I am going to do what I want to do and stop waiting around for someone to accompany me. This has been my philosophy for the past four months. I realized that if I wait on someone else, I miss out on the things that I really want to do. There are so many places that I want to go and things that I want to try. So, I have started to go out and explore on my own. The area where I am living now is chock full of historical places and since the weather is so nice most of the year, there are are also plenty of things to be done outdoors. This is definitely helpful when trying to stop being a couch potato. So, whenever I get an idea, I go to accomplish it. I have seen so many things that I would have otherwise missed out on. I have seen places where our forefathers have fought historic battles and places where the settlers of our country first established themselves. My favorite place to go though is anywhere that I can go for a walk outside, whether it be in a forested area or near the coastline. I am happiest when the sun is on my face and the wind is at my back. I am definitely becoming more of an outdoors person, and I have deployment to blame for that. Change is always good. I embrace it with open arms.
