Our son could not sleep the night before we departed on our cross-country road trip.
I asked him why he was having trouble and he told me he "just keeps feeling...yay - whaa - yay"
{yay}
we are headed on adventures
{whaa}
we are missing out on things at home
like video games, soccer practice, and play dates
but
{yay}
we are headed on adventures with friends and family we don't typically see
we are going to do things and eat foods and see places that are new and exciting
We are now in the middle of our road trip and his sentiment continues to resonate.
Everything is a little {yay}
&
Everything is a little {whaa}
because time with good-for-the-soul family and friends is never enough
But mostly the {yay} wins out
