It's Time!

I am packed. Finally. The water pipes are thawed and I am showered, which will make traveling more pleasant not only for myself, but for my companions as well. I am very excited now, which seems to result in me singing a lot without even being aware of it. I keep suddenly realizing its 1:00am and thinking the neighbors probably don't appreciate all the racket I'm making. The next thing I know, I'm singing again and going through the process all over ;o) My fill-in for work is well-trained and a very caring person, so I won't have to worry for a second about my kids. This will be very nice. When I went to New Orleans in June I took business calls, and it was a pain, so I feel very blessed that this trip will be different. My mom and mother-in-law are helping out with the pets, so there are no worries there either. All I have to think about is ahhhh . . . While packing, I thought I should grab a notebook to write in while I'm gone. There are at least a dozen around here, but I happened to come across one that was well hidden under the bed. It was the notebook I wrote The Edge and Break Me in. These are two songs that I was very blessed to have been a part of writing. God not only moved me with these songs, but I think He touched others' with them as well. Maybe this is a sign of a creative storm about to start brewing! I can only pray so ;o) The camera is packed, along with six batteries, a charger, and two memory cards, so expect to see some slide shows in about a week and a half! Peace!
