One Mile More
I would walk a mile for a smile on the long deserted beach of a windswept isle. To let my spirit take peaceful rest in the loving comfort of nature’s breast. To watch the graceful pelican glide on the unseen currents of which they ride. To hear the seagull call the rest; to see the Osprey’s hulking nest. To watch the awkward sideways crawl of the skittering crabs that amaze us all. To feel the mist of ocean spray; to close my... (posted by Amanda 314 days 3 hours ago.)

A Vacation of Tradition
The sound of surf pounding the shore in the not too far distance provides a reassuring back beat to the rousing laughter and endless chatter of the large family nestled between the bent trees on the lawn of the cozy beach house. Smells from the charcoal grill swirl through the salty and refreshing sea air while fresh vegetables simmering on the stove rush outside to mingle with those from the grill...

My One Day Love Fest Tribute
I often hesitate to write about my family or my children because no one on earth would truly believe that I have such extraordinarily good fortune. Most often what makes for interesting writing is not about what is wonderful but what isn’t. Perhaps that is why you will most often see my writing reflecting third party interruptions to living as opposed to those people I am most close to. I... (posted by Amanda 326 days 16 hours ago.)

Stranded on the Escalator
A very proper looking business man steps onto the escalator, a few steps behind him a woman follows. After getting about half way up, the escalator grinds to a halt. They look at each other and the man reassures the woman that someone will be there soon to fix it. The woman exclaims that she’s going to be late. No one else is around, the building is empty. They begin to yell for help. Soon, a... (posted by Amanda 327 days 19 hours ago.)

North Carolina's Voter ID Bill is History
As most of you may know, I am relatively new to the SearchWarp community and most of my articles have lent themselves to (as my blog name suggests) finding adventure in the everyday ordinary events of my daily life. Most are tongue in cheek or emotional recollections of days long past. I seldom foray into the political realm. There is a reason for that. It’s not that I...

Where's the Traffic Cop on the road of Life?
Excuse me sir, could you tell me in which direction I should go to reach the road to the rest of my life? Wouldn’t it be nice to have a life crisis traffic cop who could tell you which turns to take or provide you with a nifty little map with your choice of the scenic route or the fastest route all hi-lighted out for you? Or perhaps a LDGPS (a life direction GPS) would be... (posted by Amanda 328 days 21 hours ago.)
