Let's call her Nina. Following is part of an email message I recently received from her after mentioning I had driven south for the weekend:
“I'm so jealous! I would have loved to get away for the weekend! Do you have any fun plans for the summer?”
This is not how I answered, but how Rachel wishes she could answer for me:
“Nina, there’s no need to be jealous. I’ll take you away for the weekend anytime. Just tell me when you want to go and we’ll make a plan. Do I have any fun plans for the summer? Girl, I have nothing but fun plans for the summer, and anytime you want to join me would make it even more fun. In fact, I’m looking forward to spending some time with you.”
Ah, wouldn't it be entertaining? And if you were Nina, how might you respond?
