Road Trip Tomorrow

This trip has been months in the planning and we've been caught up in whirlwinds of re-scheduling several times, but at last we've arrived at the eve of our journey. I've decided to leave the computer behind for a week or so. 

Every trip is a new beginning. A new chance to re-evaluate what matters physically, what we absolutely need. I love taking things out of my pack and changing my focus. It is like going on a hunt, without knowing what is hunted.

But home still pulls me back with a magnetic power. I'm so grateful for what I've received in my life, and our home is one of my greatest pleasures. I am rooted and centered there.

The practical arrangements have been almost overwhelming. Making sure everything is done beforehand has drained me to a little quivering husk. I have closed down my large Uncalendar for 2 weeks and thrown all my planning into the Franklin Covey Aurora binder, which is piteously stuffed. I haven't a photograph to share at the moment (late at night before falling into bed) but you wouldn't want to see it anyway. It bulges at the seams and I know this spells planner failure in big neon letters as I won't want to open it at this size.
