"It's inevitable that whenever my mom is on a trip, hosting friends and family over the holidays, or even if it's just the two of us sitting on the couch watching a British murder mystery, she will at some point say, 'OK, I'm having fun now!' It's her signal that the stress of planning is over and the time to relax and enjoy company has commenced. It doesn't have to be some momentous occasion, it can simply be buckling our seatbelts on the plane and looking out the window in eager anticipation of what's to come or cheers-ing our cocktails at a cute restaurant we stumbled into. So often we are just go, go, go, in the hamster wheel of life; my mom's exclamation is a reminder to smile, breath, set aside distractions, and soak in the moment with the people you care about." — Tara
