I was reflecting on one of the TED talks I listened to when I was at TEDxDeSoto back in October.
Jessica (@mycurlyadventures_) shared the idea that every trip we go on is actually 3 trips all wrapped up into 1.
- The trip we anticipate and dream about
- The trip we actually experience
- The trip we remember
But here’s the thing…
The same is true of life’s big events, especially the Holidays or family visits.
I mean can you remember back to joyous yet anxiety-filled anticipation the night before your birthday or Christmas or Wedding?
How about the trip itself… those moments you were actually acutely in the moment?
The warm sensation of the sun on your face.
The cool breeze against your shoulders causes a few goosebumps to emerge.
Sand between your toes- gritty and soft at the same time.
Ahh, and the memories left afterward…
I can’t help but remember back to this Thanksgiving…
Charlotte (7) and I had a flu-like illness that had us stuck curled up on the couch together.
