Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I made a suggestion yesterday that turned out well.  My daughter had wanted to get away for Memorial Day weekend, and couldn't book reservations where she wanted to go on the coast.  I said go up to our cabin.  Your father has opened it up.  She was doubtful, but her husband became enthusiastic.  So last night they drove the three hours with the baby asleep in the carseat and their dying cat along for the ride.  She called this morning and she and the baby were on the deck looking at the trees, his favorite thing.  The weather is better there and the lake is up and the air fresh.  She's away, and will feel refreshed when she returns.  Usually I hold my tongue, but I'm glad I didn't this time.  My daughter had kind of forgotten that the cabin is there, and everytime we go up we realize how lucky we are to have it.  Ancient trees, mountains, a crystal clear lake:  what's not to like?  I feel happy that they are enjoying the first taste of summer.
