7:00am Monday, May 7th. . .

All packed......having coffee......house is still quiet but not for long, I suspect.  I'm not sure exactly what time I will head out this morning.  Hopefully, after I do, I will end up in Hope Mills.  'Garmin' is all programmed to guide me there -- on MY terms rather than its own.  That took some doing but thanks to Dan's help, it has been accomplished.  As a back-up, I also have a printed copy of the same directions.  Boy, do I love modern technology!  I am so 'converted' that it would be hard for me to function without it.  I think I've mentioned before that I am not adventurous so I'm having some anxiety about today.  I'm not sure why; probably just because, given certain sets of circumstances, I am conditioned to feel a certain way.  Over the years, I've learned to deal with that on most levels and to accept the part that simply is not going to change.  Nor would I want it to since I believe it would change who God intended for me to be and, therefore, any gifts He has provided for me to offer. 

So......this morning I am giving thanks for anxiety!  How crazy is that?! 

9:45pm. . .

Well, 'Garmin' didn't let me down.  What a beautiful drive it was from Kannapolis to Hope Mills.  I'm all settled in and have made myself at home here at Jenn's and Allen's for the next week or so.
