June 6: 10 Days ‘til We Hit the Road!
It’s been a busy few days since I last posted…It’s been a
Hot few days too!
I guess that I’d better get used to the heat; it’s a wonder
that someone like me who prefers to stay indoors on such hot days and even more
so prefers to stay indoors even in the mild climate of Washington State is signing up to travel to some
of the hottest regions that our country has!
But as my DH pointed out, “On a hot summer day, I can’t think of
anything better to do than to be sitting in a car for eight hours with the AC
on taking in new sights…if you’re going to be doing anything, that’s it!” I must concur. As the last few days have proven, our house
gets exceptionally um, “warm” on sunny days so sitting at home for the bulk of
the summer roasting and sweating this year is not my idea of delightful nor is it on my itinerary. My idear of delightful is driving from scenic
location to scenic location in a climate controlled air-conditioned car
stopping to photograph such beautiful landmarks as this country is blessed with
and I am blessed to be able to see, getting back into Air-Conditioned Car!, stopping for the night in a lush hotel with
plump soft beds, fluffy pillows and a cool out-door swimming pool to slosh
around in…THAT will be lovely.
In the meantime, I’m trying to not get too antsy – living one
day at a time vs. being too excited for the vacay to get here ‘cuz once it
does, well, that will fly by…and I’m a big believer in living one day at a
time. Making the most of each day
(although truthfully, all I’ve done today is check my FB, check my email, check
Craigslist, read photography articles, read political articles, repeat. Oh!
And I took a nap!).
But what I mean is, feeling like “I can’t wait to get out of
here!” takes away from the joy of just being here in the meantime, and by the
Grace of God, I pray nothing and no one would ever steal my joy!
Blessings on ya’ today…have a good one!
P.S. And please remember
today is D-Day… If you don’t know what that is – please take a second and look
it up, thank you!
