Trip cancelled....

[JoySpice]

Well, after a couple of days of discussion, Hubby and I have decided to not go to the family gathering in AR. One reason is finances. Another reason is that the whole thing was turning into being dictated to as to what we could and could not do or where we could or could not stay so not to inconvenienc a couple of people. Sorry for the vent...
This doesn't mean that we won't be taking a trip, just not the first week of April... The only reason now that we wanted to go was to go to CofD.. Another time.

Sorry for the disappointment. Now you can start planning for the trip you really want to take .

Sorry, you've had to cancel your trip plans. Sometimes, our trips to just see our country are happier times. Also plans in jello, are more fun too. Just head in one direction and see all the interesting things you will find. Keeping track of where all the Sistahs might be, for a GTG

Vent all you want, one of our services to each other

Take care and keep us posted as to which direction you plan to go

Hey there, Joy! Family GTGs can often be stressful, for many different reasons, so just relax and plan your own "kick-back" trip closer to home where you can be your own bosses! Don't ever worry about complaining about whatever----we are the kind of family who can listen, sympathize, empathize, and then toss it all away when things clear up! What was that quote I am trying to remember that ends with "and with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away." I will find it and be better next time in quoting it, as I love it. It involves sifting through things, keeping what is worth keeping, and then that final sentence.

Have fun planning your own itinerary!

Edit----I found it, and it's so fitting for this group! A poem by Dinah Mulock in 1859:

Oh, the comfort —
the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person —
having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words,
but pouring them all right out,
just as they are,
chaff and grain together;
certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them,
keep what is worth keeping,
and then with the breath of kindness blow the rest away.

Sorry for the cancellation but I'll bet the next trip will make up for it! Vent all you want. That's what we're here for.

That is a very fitting quote. Don't think I had heard that before but I like the thoughts.

Plans are in jello if one doesn't work, back up and go another direction. Life is way too short to be stressed.

Vent all you want sweetie!! Families can be a major pain in the patoot!!! They know just how and which buttons to push. And they know which switches to flick!

Glad that you are planning on doing a trip for just YOU!!!

I like the 'kick back and go fishing' part!
