I'll Fly Away
Tomorrow at this time, I'll be sitting in an airport, or possibly on a plane, preparing to fly for the first time since September 11, 2001, when I swore I would never fly again. It's amazing what a few years and an amazing person will do, isn't it? I'm flying to North Carolina to visit Robin. I've been practicing my meditation exercises. There has been lots of prayer, which will continue into tomorrow, and beyond. I've contemplated the drugs that I can take, but pretty much any option that I have would render me unconscious for the weekend, so that's not really an option at all. So, I'm counting on my prayers and the prayers of my friends to get me through. I'm very nervous. But it will all be worth it. This is going to be a great weekend. I'm a little nervous about meeting Robin's neice Kara. She's the cutest little girl, and has Robin wrapped around her little finger. She means the world to him. Which is awesome, but it also means that I want to make a good impression. She already knows about me and is excited about meeting me, too, so that's a good sign. Just another step along the journey...as we would say. :)
Another thing I have had to contemplate for this trip is how to pack. I'm not a very good packer. I like to have choices when dressing in the morning. When flying on a plane, you can't have too many choices. You need to keep it simple. I'm not really good at that. I spent last night trying on outfits to determine what I could take that might be able to be swapped out for something else. I need choices in my clothing. I've ended up with not too many so far. I still have one more night to pack. Whew. I dress according to mood and comfort. This is all very important, or at least it's a distraction so I don't have to think about the flying.
So, there you have it. I'll be flying tomorrow. The next time I write here, I will have done so. Woo hoo. Pray for me, if you think of it! Thanks!
