Life Reminder.....And we can book it!
Take the trip.
Even though it means you’ll have to use vacation days and a little extra money out of your budget.
And yes, there’s so much to do and it’s hard to rearrange your schedule.
Take the trip.
Even though you might have to move a little bit slower than you’re used to.
And you’ll stop a few extra times to chat with strangers and ask about the weather and make small talk with people just because it’s what they do.
“Hi. Where are you from? We don’t know much about oceans, but we can tell you all about farming.”
Take the trip.
Even though you worry about new locations or tricky roads or places that aren’t kid-friendly.
Take the trip with your mom and dad. Your sister. Your brother. Your aunt and grandma and grandpa and cousin. Take the trip with that friend from high school you always said you’d meet again. With your spouse and your kids. Your loved ones.
Take the trip.
It doesn’t have to be fancy or expensive. If you simply can’t get out town, meet up for coffee. Play a game of cards. Do whatever you have to do to get together.
Because you’re all getting older, and life is getting busier and you’re just not sure when you’ll be able to do this again.
Take the trip.
Responsibilities will be there when you get back.
Work can wait.
Life can’t.
Take the trip.
Because these memories will live in your heart forever.
