Item 1 - Vacay by myself!



Item 1 completed: a vacation by myself.

I have spent the past four days completely self indulgent and doing only what I want. It was refreshing and fun...especially a single rider at DisneyLand. ;-)

But, I learned a few lessons, too.

1) I can be completely alone. I can do this. I can make this upcoming move.

2) Hugs are nice. Other than a hand shake, I haven't had physical contact with another human in four days. I miss hugs.

3) DisneyLand gives you 2% moments in the morning. I'm sure they go away when the kids start acting up, but, to be honest, I didn't notice. I was enjoying my 10 minute waits for rides.

4) I can (still) conquer fears. I will ride almost any thrill ride, but until yesterday, I had never rode a free fall ride. That for some reason was off limits. I rode two yesterday. 8-)

5) This move is going to take a lot of trust in God. Not to mention, a lot of trust, period. I suck at that. Maybe that's why God is pushing me this way? I'm going to have to rent an apartment sight-unseen...gulp...and a very good possibility with a roommate (haven't done that since my sophomore year of college)...and most probably through craigslist! TERRIFYING! I am going to have to walk by faith and not sight.

6) I'm really excited about my move, but, equally terrified.

7) New "Bucket"/"Burried Life" list item: Hold a conversation with stranger I normally wouldn't when he/she starts it.
