Fear… Here Today, Gone with Action!!

The funny thing about fear… It does disappear once you walk through it!!  I’m having so much fun, experiencing so many things, meeting so many people, I can’t even remember what the heck I was so afraid of in the first place!!

My Dragon Slayer is a Goddess!! She is so steady and sure!! Clipping along with not a care in the world!! She is on an adventure of a life time and you can tell she’s happy by her content growl!!

My biggest limitation on this Journey is my body.  The heat seems to zap my energy and I get tired easily.  I am staying hydrated although I have to stop more often then I would like to rest. I find myself unable to keep my eyes open and I don’t think my Dragon Slayer has auto pilot!! I usually find a nice rest stop, sleep for 15 min and then we are off again!!  My darling daughter told me about those 5 hr energy shots although they are also hard on my body.

So many states are crossed into and so many things are seen in one day that it is hard to remember everything even though I record my thoughts!!  I have had to cancel meeting people along the route due to timing and the need to get to my destination.  I have been most unhappy about that.

I got to the Pennsylvania Turnpike and messed up going into the toll road.  I got confused what to do, didn’t take a ticket and worried the entire way that the police would hunt me down and arrest me!!  When I got the to North Midway point, the toll booth lady said I would have to pay $22.00!!  I was grateful that the police weren’t waiting for me!! I sure hope I don’t get a ticket in the mail.  It was truly an honest mistake.

I thought I was lost, stopped for gas and was told I was right on track!! Problem was, my destination was 200 more miles and it’s already after 8 pm.  I decided that I wasn’t going to make it that night.  A very nice couple asked me if I needed help and we struck up a conversation!!  They donated $5.00 to Big Brothers Big Sisters and best of all, the lady came over to me, held my hands and prayed over me!!  Tears of gratitude flowed down my face!! I gave her a great big hug!!  I miss that most of all from home, all the hugs from all the people that I love so much!!

I saw many deer along the path as it neared dusk.  I loved seeing them with their babies although I knew I needed to be more alert for their road crossings.

Dear Becca, there is a Santa Claus!! He delivered me refreshingly delicious cool rain!! The weather was hot and humid and I kept praying for rain!!  When I got up from my power nap, I took off my leather chaps.  I felt bad about giving up safety, although I had to cool down… About 15 minutes later, the sky got really dark and the clouds opened up!!  It rained so hard I had to slow down to 10 miles an hour because I couldn’t see!! I was sitting on my Dragon Slayer, laughing and singing!! It was the kind of rain that makes you want to dance round and round; have a popsicle stick race; and if I had a special someone, slow, sensual, sweet wet rain kisses!! Glorious rain!! I got soaked through to the skin!!

All in all, it was a wonderful day!!  I guess I won’t get a down day this week, although I’m grateful for being able to listen to my body and accept my limitations!!

Thank you everyone, for all your comments, texts and emails!!  They inspire me to keep going!!  Sweet dreams my Dragon Slayer!!
