Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I babysat my younger grandson yesterday then Facetimed with the older this morning, so I've had my grandparent hit.  In five days the granddaughter comes with my daughter, and the whole family will be mingling for our younger son's wedding.  We're cleaning like crazy today, and hoping what we fix stays nice until our guests arrive.  This is the time for me when expectation can wire me up, and then I become over sensitive and get my feelings hurt, so I'm hoping to buck that pattern and just enjoy whatever happens.  I know I'm thrilled with the couple getting married.  They are well suited for each other.  My test?  If there is more energy in the room when they are together rather than less.  They are full of plans and hopes and dreams, as they should be.  I think back to when I married my husband 43 years ago and I can still feel the exuberance.  As Margo Channing would say, it's been a bumpy ride, but I wouldn't change it for anything.  I wish the same for these two lovebirds.
