The Journey Has Started

After a great last day at the confluence center, Ken and I packed up the car and headed on the road.  The car is full of junk.  I am afraid that I will get to the airport and they will tell me that I can't take it all with me.  I have left Ken a freezer, the one I was suppose to take with me, full of meals and deserts to keep him well fed while we are apart and with a clean house.  I have said goodbye to everything.  I am going through this circle of emotions: am I doing the right thing, will I be able to handle everything, can I exist without cheeseburgers at McDonalds, department stores and bookstores, without traffic.  Then all of the sudden I get so excited because I am going to Alaska to fulfill a very long time dream.  The last thing I did was to stand outside and listen, I heard the semi's on the highway, a train in the distance but I also heard woodpeckers and robins, ducks and geese.  I wonder what I will hear in Alaska.  Now it is off to say goodbye to the kids and family.
