Today is the day. It's been a hectic day so far, I just hope it calms down by the time I reach SFO. I'm still not 100% packed but I am darn close. Very close. Friends have been calling to wish me luck, and I find as my hours dwindle so does my courage. I will push through the fear, after all, "We have nothing to fear, but fear it's self." - FDR, my second favorite president. Or perhaps Arya Stark is more your flavor? "Fear cuts deeper than swords." Take your pick, it's really the same thing. I am sure I will come back a changed person and most likely for the better.
My good friend Amber is taking me to the airport, we were going to meet half way but she decided to come get me instead. I am going to miss a lot of people next week and I suspect there will be tears on my part and possibly on others. My stepmom, who I love very much said, "Anyone can do anything for one week." I argued I probably couldn't get along with my sister. She agreed. So now I am filling my head with inspirational quotes, my bags with clothes I might not even wear, my kindle with books, and my heart with love from all those who have wished me luck. I will miss you all, I will write when I can. Gotta go finish packing and maybe one more Mordor style hot shower.
