Happy Australia Day! So appropriate that today marks the start of a long, long journey. I expect to be highly delusional by the time I arrive, so please don't expect any thing brilliant being posted. Right now I am just hoping that my bags are not too heavy and that my soul remains light. I don't want to be weighed down with worry right now. No need for that. I sorta have this theory that if you keep going, walking, running or skipping... you can never feel too "settled." Not that this would be a bad thing in the traditional meaning of the word, but I am referring to the forced settling due to heavy baggage; the weights of the world, the woes and the worries. I would rather throw those out before I pass through customs.
My mindset is that I am feeling prepared for the unknown. A first for me. really. I have no nails left to bite and about 10 or so pounds of books to keep my mind occupied. yes! I think I will be just fine as long as I can convey to the airport employees that, while I may appear to be an adult, I am really one of those lost wandering children who gets stuck in the mall and needs an intercom announcement to find their way back to their guardian. Wish I had one of those. Oh well, I will have to wing it on my own. I will just live in the present and see where that takes me.
Thank you loving family and friends. You all are super and outstanding people.
Acceptance, Enthusiasm, Enjoyment,
Natalie
