One of my favorite moments is when my family and relatives plan a vacation together. It starts with the classic debate: which beach to visit, what food to bring, and whoโs going to be the designated driver (sorry, Uncle). Then comes the fun part shopping for chips and swimwear like itโs a national event.
But the best part? When weโre finally packed into the van, all the cousins teasing each other, singing loudly with zero pitch control, just pure joy. As we drive, I love looking out the window clouds touching the tips of perfectly shaped mountains, cows grazing on endless green grass, fresh air rushing past.
I live in the city, so I donโt always get to see views like that. And when I do, I make sure to soak it in every laugh, every breeze, every silly out-of-tune chorus. I make sure to be present.
