Spectacles, Testicles, Wallet, Watch

Here we go. Hours, minutes, seconds and then, I'm on an airplane, hurling over the mountains and down to a new life.

Check the bank, grab the phone charger, remember what book i'm reading on the flight, double check wallet for ID and SS card, sweep the floor, breathe breathe breathe. Everything is moving like it's immersed in honey, but my heart races anyway. It's almost there, just within my grasp, and I'm expecting the floor to fall out from underneath me somehow.

So I leave, frantic and thrilled and not entirely sure what's ahead, but I'm going anyway. I leave you with something that will be on my heart a lot these next few weeks.

Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
