Dick and I were on one of our "just the two of us"
vacations in the Wisconsin Dells. When
Adam was off to college we started the "just the two of us"
vacations. Dick is a people person so
most vacations are with friends and family.
When we entered the empty nest years, we also realized it was a time for
the two of us also.
I'd heard the sunset dinner cruise on the river was nice and
Dick is always up for a boat ride, so we made reservations.
Standing in line, I mentioned I wanted to sit on the top. He took the challenge and maneuvered us
through the crowd so we were the first on the top deck. We had our choice of tables. There were only two tables for two so we
immediately sat at one of them.
As we settled into our table, feeling slightly victorious,
it dawned on us. We were at the back of the boat, facing
backward. Dick thought we wouldn't be
able to see where we were going. I
started to worry about motion sickness.
But by the time we made these realizations the other "good"
tables were taken. Sure, we could have
joined another couple at a table for four but this was for the "two of
us!"
So we decided to be content in our choice and
circumstance. In hindsight, we were
blessed. We had the best table on the boat.
The pilot told us where we were going. There were no tables that faced forward. There were only 2 tables on the top deck for
two and we had one of them. It was like
we were on a private boat ride.
Wow what a view.
Often we need to learn to be content just as Philippians
4:12 reminds us.
I wanted to have a closing acronym for Content to close this
entry but got stuck. Give me your
suggestions for E, N and T.
