I get excited about morning coffee and Amazon deliveries, so it doesn’t take much. But I’d have to say the last thing to generate real excitement was probably our drive to Minnesota a couple of months ago. The purpose for the trip was sobering– to gather for a memorial service for my brother– but the destination and the opportunity to be with the extended family, along with possibly seeing some folks from college who I hadn’t seen in 50 years, all contributed to a sense of excitement.
More recently, we had a getaway with just our kids, their spouses, and the grandchildren, which was enjoyable, but a bit more frazzling.
