It's been a long time since I have seen the movie "Parenthood" (starring Steve Martin). It was on cable yesterday and seeing it now as a parent is so different from when I saw it as a kid in the late 80's.There was a great scene in the movie, where the Grandma in the movie started to tell Steve Martin's character and his wife a story about how she used to love riding on roller coasters with her husband. It made her scared, sick, excited, and exhilarated all at the same time. She said that she could have just rode the merry go-around and play it safe, but it would not have been as much fun.
I thought it was such a wise story. I hope to always choose to ride the roller coaster of life with Jaime instead of the Merry Go-around. It may not always feel safe and predictable, but it will be an adventure.
