A Story Helps Earn Money From Your Blog
TheHubby and I recently took a road trip from Kentucky to Texas. Normally we fly everywhere we go; however life circumstances forced us to travel by road this time.
Because this trip is very important to us and we want to make sure we arrive safely. TheHubby did a some prep work for our new adventure. You see The Hubby is one who likes to solve problems. He is extremely organized, accurate to a fault sometimes and punctual. He likes to accomplish things by following a step by step process.
So for this road trip, we have printed directions from map quest plus TheHubby double checked the map quest directions on a visually road map to make sure the directions are accurate. Oh yes, and we also have the route entered into the Motion X app for the iPhone. TheHubby needs to be so accurate and precise, he even did the stimulation process on the Motion X app just to make sure it was accurate.
In order for us to be at the Lake in Texas in time for the traditional Scott family sunset cruise on day one of the family reunion, we need to leave Kentucky by 4:00 AM. Mr. organized, accurate and punctual (TheHubby) made sure the car was packed and ready to go precisely on time. He is so excited and ready for this adventure he does not sleep much.
Knowing I would be on first “crew rest” for the road trip, I was perfectly content to leave at 4AM and finish my sleep in the car.
The need for sleep took over TheHubby about an hour outside of TN, so I took over the driving.
Now remember, I have written directions and a talking navigational system to help me with this drive. I am driving along perfectly content until we begin to come up to the area where we are going to transition from the State of Kentucky to the State of Tennessee. Now this particular change of highways was not just a matter of merging onto another highway. This involved making a left merge off the expressway, then a right merge back onto another expressway and then finally a right merge onto to the highway we would remain on for over 150 miles. I am having to change highways during rush hour in Nashville.
I’ve been driving for over 20 years, so I know how do to this. Yet I am discovering a feeling inside myself of nervousness. You know like little butterflies fluttering inside the pit of my stomach. Each time “the navigator” advises me to prepare to merge onto a different road, this butterfly feeling takes place in the pit of my stomach. Now, I don’t really understanding this. Because logically I know I have a map, I am in a country where they speak my language, I’m not really going to be lost, I have a “person” telling exactly what to do and when to do it. Yet, I am nervous and hesitant.
Then is when it hits me. Change is possible, but not always easy. Each time I took action, followed the voice of the navigator and made my way onto the correct highway my confidence grew and the nervousness faded.
