I have most everything done in preparation for our trip. Hotel reservations are confirmed - was a little worried for a bit there, could not find out availability until today. Was sooo relieved to hear we're in. Have secured a car service to pick us up at the airport. Housing knows what time we are coming so someone will be there to let us in.
Instead of getting the thousand little things done (like getting money, doing laundry, packing) decided to sit on my back porch, close my eyes and just listen to nature. A very calming sound. When I opened my eyes I was staring at an ancient pine tree that I'm sure has withstood many, many difficult times. Wow, wonder who put that thought into my head? What a comfort, thanks Lord.
Since this journey started 13 years ago, I've had a lot of less-than-respectful talks with God but when I've needed it the absolute most, I've never NOT felt his presence. From somewhere (where else than a higher power) I have always been given the strength and the resolve when I most need it. My belief is a little unorthodox (don't snort - it's not polite) but I do believe. Of course if you happen to mention, "This too shall pass" or "Just pray harder", you can rest assured I will be using that strength and resolve to not slap the crap out of you. If nothing else, going through all of this has taught me what NOT to say. . . well when I take the time to think. That's all for of the deep thoughts today . . . battery is low.
