We leave soon. We’ll leave our former home, even our state, with just our luggage, off to live here and there as world nomads. Is it scary?

I think of it like being in line for a huge scary roller coaster. The closer you get the bigger it looks, the more scary the “what if’s”and “leave behind’s” seem. But mostly it’s giddy excitement for all of the “probably’s” and “definitely’s”.

It’s terrified excitement.

I guess to a lesser degree I feel this way about all adventures of travel and life and they almost always have turned out better than I could’ve imagined and when they didn’t we still made it through with a great story to tell.
