Dan: It’s 7
am on Saturday. And I’m worried... I’m worried about where I’ll live when I’m in California,
although I have people there waiting to help me find a place once I get there. I’m
worried about how my parents and siblings will make it through my mom’s
illness, although we have doctors already helping and siblings already
planning their trips to Dallas. I’m worried about how my
kids will manage in Harrisburg without me, although they all are actively and
responsibly taking steps to determine their own futures. Ridiculously, I’m even
worried that my worries will prevent me from enjoying this trip to California. I
guess that, in all these cases, I’m so worried about what the future will be,
that I’m about to miss experiencing the Present Moment. That’s a message we
hear all the time – in fact it was even in my dreams last night – but it’s
clearly a message that I need to hear right now. OK, I’ll listen.We leave for California in 2 hours. Wish us luck!
