I’m going to take a shot at my theory as to
why we remember things from our day or a trip that don’t go to our plan. The things we remember from a hike or trip
are the things that were unexpected or didn’t go to plan. When my daughter was
leaving for Spain on a school trip, I sat her down and dolled out some of
my crack philosophy (some would call it
crack pot philosophy). I told her that
things never go as planned and that’s OK,
those are the moments that you remember.
When your luggage doesn’t arrive or the rain cancels an outing and you
do something else, those are the moments you remember. Don’t get mad, overly upset and bummed out,
experience those times and possibly have fun with it. Be present, you can’t change the
situation. Everything will work
out. Little did I know I would be
getting a call from her two hours later that was one of those moments.
