Learning to be unprepared

I have never been a "fly by the seat of my pants" kind of girl. I like to be prepared. Already there have been times on this journey that I have just had to take a deep breath and relax, because I have done all I can to prepare and I just have to wait for the world to open up and bring the next thing to me. I cannot rush things or force things to happen in the order that I want them to. This new practice in patience and trust in the universe is becoming a learning experience of its own.

The excitement of my trip next week is starting to catch up to me. When I finish this blog entry, I'm headed to the storage closet to dig out a suitcase and start packing. Only four more days until I am on the road! I think I may even start taking some pictures tonight as I pack so that I can add them here. More colorful blog posts are much more interesting.... or something! *smile*
