Are We There Yet?
“Refreshed, excited, enthusiastic…you’ve had breakfast and your coffee. The gas tank is full. There are snacks in the car. You look forward to being on the road. GPS loaded; audio book prepped; water bottle, sunglasses in reach… You’re ready to go. Then out of the blue comes a call. It’s your mom: Dad’s in the hospital – he’s had a stroke. You reel back almost losing your balance upon hearing this. You’re there but not there. A sense of numbness overtakes you as you adjust to this info. Part of you understands, the other part is still in trip mode. “Am I not going on my trip?… I can’t go on my trip. But I want to…” And there it is – life and its uncertainties. No matter how prepared you are, stuff happens. You won’t make the trip today, but the Universe will never let something slip by you that’s meant to be.”
To your Happiness,
