On our very first date we went to a concert. I adore going to concerts and so I was thrilled to be asked to go to a concert by the cute guy who lived up a block from me. It didn't matter that I had never heard of this person we were going to see. There is something awesome about live music.
It was a John Cage concert.
After that show, that night, I knew one thing for sure - hanging out with Tom would mean that life would never be boring.
25 years and four kids later it has never been boring.
Now our kids are getting older (two in college and two in high school). Many of my girlfriends have been talking about that day that seemed so far away when our babies were crawling across the living room floor; What do we do when the kids are out of the house? Will we still have something to talk about when the kids aren't the center of the conversation?
This past summer someone very close to me passed away. She had planned and planned her entire life to raise her children and then she would take off with her husband to see the world. That someday never came.
We can get so caught up in the raising of the kids and growing the careers that we sometimes forget what brought us together in the first place.
This is the subject of next weeks Traveling Mom Twitter party. Renewing Romance. This made me think of the words from the song Moon River and it has made me appreciate that over 25 years ago I took a chance on a drifter like me.
Join us on Monday December 3 for the TravelingMom.com Twitter party using the hashtags #TMOM and #TMOMHope to talk about romance and travel and keeping that spark alive!

There's such a lot of world to see

Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend, moon river, and me

Your friend left us with such an important lesson. People always ask me for my best travel tip. Here it is: GO ANYWAY
ReplyDeletePS I never thought of Moon River as inspiring until now.
