As we were leaving for our road trip to Idaho today, Randy asked me: "What do we want from this trip?"
He has been asking me some variation of this question ever since we met: what is a word/thought/hope/prayer for today?
I love this question because it speaks to the truth that, while we can't always control what happens during the day, we can choose how we are going to respond to what happens during our day.
We can decide in advance that we are going to be commpassionate, patient, appreciative, annoyed, frustrated... we can decide in advance that even though everything won't be perfect we will see it as such because we'll be together.
So whether you are taking a road trip for Christmas or cramming into a house full of in laws, choose now what your attitude will be for the day.
