Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

My family is having a communications problem.  We were trying to organize the two days our older daughter is visiting, mainly to see the new baby.  Lots of ideas were floated around, but somehow no one took charge of actually deciding.  This is not a catastrophe, but it means a trip we were taking the second day to see our older son and his family and celebrate his birthday, is off.  I tried to text everyone yesterday, their preferred form of connecting, but that didn't work.  I called our older son last night and he is miffed.  Our older daughter is miffed.  Maybe everyone is.  I've had a difficult January with a knee injury, then a horrible flu, then our beloved dog having to be put down last week.  I don't feel like fixing everything and anyway have no idea how.  Since our eight year old granddaughter is coming as well, I'm feeling bad for her.  Luckily, I see my therapist for the first time in six weeks today.  I'll solicit her advice.  All the family is challenged right now.  My older son, his wife and our grandson have been sick with colds for a month.  My older daughter is divorcing her husband.  My younger son is dealing with a leaky roof at their rental house up north and he and his fiancee are trying to plan their wedding.  My younger daughter has a two month old baby.  Enough said.  I wish we could laugh this off and just see each other without the organizing.  I'm perfectly aware I am not in control and these are very mature people.  Oh, well.  One day at a time.
