My character is growing today!
My husband and I are blessed to be getting some living "as if" practice again today. We left town yesterday to visit our youngest grandson Caleb, that is 4 months old and lives in Virginia. Our plans were that we would be there last night and this morning early we would be cuddling him up. But nothing went according to plan once we were at the airport. Our flight was delayed 2 hours in San Francisco, missing our connecting flight in Philadelphia by 5 minutes. And there we were at 11:30pm stranded in the airport with our new flight not leaving until 2pm this afternoon.
We didn't have a place to stay, we were told that all rooms near the airport were booked, and renting a car was heading towards 200.00 for the night/day. We looked at each other and had a choice to make. Tired and hungry, without a room, snacks from a vending machine(the airport was shutting down) and stuck until 2pm today. What were we going to do? We could act in accordance with what we believe and who we want to be, or we could revert to childish behavior, reacting to the circumstances and ruin what could be a nice little adventure. We chose the latter, and are finding that we are enjoying this little adventure. We are looking forward to seeing our kids this afternoon and the baby. Yesterday is done..today is here and good and blessings are all around us. I am going to fully embrace our morning in this room, and our time in the airport, and how sweet it will be to be on our way this afternoon with a smiling baby and our kids at the other end.
