The count down is now in hours, not days or weeks. We take off in about 21 hours. Only a couple of small To-Dos left on the pre-flight list.
Many emotions have been pulsing through my body the last 2 months - anxiousness, excitement, panic, wonder, trepidation, worry. And it was never one at at time, usually 3 or 4 were going at one time. Hard to distinguish what ones were hitting some times as they feel so similar, or switched so quickly. Then crunch time hit and it was mostly panic and anxiety trying to get all the last minute items complete (gee I hate that procrastination). Then, this morning at church, I realized I felt nothing, I was numb. I thought back and realized I entered that state the night before, while we were at our going away "ThanksMasNewSterDay" party. It was nice, easy going and didn't require much thought or effort. I haven't determined why I went numb, but it was probably a combination of being tired just shutting down so I could power through all the last minute items I could no longer procrastinate on.
We had a little "commissioning" for our trip at church today. It was nice to have the support and prayer of our church family. Many people came up and wished us well, good luck, safe travel and prayers. One person comment that you've probably heard it all many times already, but I noted it didn't get old, it was nice to hear every time. Many thanks to all those you are giving us their support.
Next one from the road,
Paul
