Yes, I'm sure they're having a great time. Her family is a ton of fun to hang out with...albeit a little overwhelming in large doses.

So I texted "Thinking about you guys. Looks and sounds like everyone is having a great time! So happy you guys were able to take this trip! Give my regards to everyone, and if you think to I'd love it if you said an extra thanks to Ingrid for flying the kids out. I miss them a ton but I'm so glad they were able to go!"

So... no expectations. Any response is fine. No response is fine too, since nothing I wrote requires a response.

I have to remind myself that one of my meditations these past couple of months has been "what is the kind thing to do...what would a considerate person do?" It isn't about what I get in return, it's about what type of person I want to be. In fact, in a way, no response or a less-than-effusive response shows that I can be kind and considerate even when I don't get something out of it, so...all the better.
