Feeling Nervous

(John) I noticed today that I'm experiencing some strange feelings. It's a mixed brew of anticipation and fear. For the last day or two, we've been concentrating on our final preparations. The yard work is ready, the house is prepared for our housesitter, and our bags are nearly packed.

I suppose it's normal to experience some fear prior to a momentous event like this trip. I'm worried about what will happen while I'm gone. I'm concerned about my dog and cat, not to mention my house too. I really have nothing to fear. I know everything will be well cared for.

I think I have a generalized fear of things I cannot control. Will my hotel reservations be OK? Will our flight go well? Will we see everything we are hoping to see? Or, maybe I'm just CRAZY!

Though I know every vacation has it's problems, I will remind myself that I can handle just about anything. I'm going to focus on what I can do and leave the rest to fate.
