{Day Sixteen} :: Plan Some Spontaneity

It was a Wednesday night, and our parents were picking up my brother and I from Awana when they nonchalantly asked if we wanted to go to the beach for the weekend. If we wanted to leave that second.

Of course we answered affirmatively. But being the planner I've always been, I worried about traveling without our bags packed or missing a couple days of school. Little did I know the trunk was full of our stuff and Mom and Dad had already arranged our absence with our teachers. And with that, we were whisked away for a few days of sun and sand.

My parents always had a knack for making well-planned things seem spontaneous. And those moments of planned spontaneity were often the most fun and the most memorable.

Want to make someone you love think you're the greatest? Plan some spontaneity.

Have you every planned spontaneity for someone else? Have you ever been surprised with what appeared to be spontaneity only to find out there was a plan behind it all?
