Counting down. T-4 days to go...
Until I do something HUGE.
At least huge for me.. Most people see it as no big deal but I will be leaving for Pittsburgh early Sunday AM and we are traveling by plane.. Alone.. No family.. I am tackling two fears at once, flying in an airplane (and while fat) and leaving my family so far away..
I converted to Catholicism on Easter and I've been apart of the Stephen Ministry at our parish. It's helping people in our area who are having a hard time in life.. Some people its elderly people with health issues, those who lost jobs, going through a death, pregnancy loss, any life changing event, we are there. I was honored to be asked if I wanted to become a leader so I accepted.. I was really hesitant to but I did.. I know turning it down when they seen potential in me wouldnt benefit anyone. So I accepted, all expenses paid how could I refuse a chance to see a new place and have a new experience? I've spent all of my adult life being a wife and mother, staying at home with my kids and doing only for them..Now that they are older, our youngest is starting kindergarten it is time for ME. I have a lot of mixed emotions though.. Excited and scared..Worried, anxious..Everything..
IT WILL BE OKAY.
On a better note, I wore leggings out of my house for the first time EVER this past week. No one vomited, stared or gagged.. I guess no one cares after all.. lol
