distracted

i think it's tricky, and very sneaky, how things creep in and take over

maybe a person

maybe an event

maybe it's just a collection of thoughts that won't seem to go away

and i sit and stew

i ruminate

i get distracted

and now here i am a week from italy and i haven't allowed the excitement to really settle in

i went out with pops last night for our regular pre-departure dinner

and i kept starting my sentences with, "i'm just feeling worried about...."

and i'm glad i noticed it

why am i so worried? i know it's all going to work out

i believe i have someone in my corner that has ultimate power to change circumstances

and heck, i'm going to italy...lets be excited shall we!

i keep reminding myself of what rob wrote in one of his first emails to me as the ball got rolling:

"be brave, be joyful"
