Are we there yet?

If I heard that question, or some variation of it, once in the 6 hour drive to the beach I heard it 50 times.

The youngest of the kids asked it the most. The others just looked on their map apps on the phone to figure it out.

But every one of my five have been guilty of saying it at some point in the history of the car rides we have all had to endure.

Truth is, I’ve been guilty of asking that question through the years too.

Ive asked it about car rides, plane trips, boat rides, and mountain hikes.

Destinations speak to us. We feel comfort in knowing we are in motion toward something...and that eventually we will reach that destination.

People climb Everest to reach the summit.

I often talk about my very eclectic taste in music. You might find me listening to country one moment, then 70s rock, then an acapella gospel song.

Or it could be blue grass, then rap, followed by a couple of musical numbers from Disney or broadway.

But in my phone I also have a playlist entitled “Memorial.”

It’s a playlist I made one year so that when I got up and started doing things on Memorial Day I could just hit play and start the day off thinking about the sacrifices of those who have paved the way for me to live in this land of the free.

Slow Down Children at Play.

You’ve probably seen those signs as you have driven through neighborhoods in your own home town. Warnings that there are children present in the area so be on the lookout for them in case one mindlessly chases a ball or animal into the street.

Children love to play. I wish I could calculate the number of times in raising my 5 kids that I’ve heard the phrase “will you play with me.” Sometimes the question was posed to me and sometimes to one of the other people in the house.

Psychologists will tell you that children’s play is extremely important to their physical, mental, and emotional development.
