It isn’t a bucket list. Although, I wish it was. No, this list seems more immediately important: the packing list.

For me, this list itself is a means to an end, to a great adventure. The problem is that sometimes I become so caught up in the process of creating and meeting the list’s requirements, I forget the end goal, the adventure, and let the stress naw on my mind.

Here’s to a little stress about the unknowns I will face, which I can never compensate for by packing as much as I think I’ll need. Ha!

I’ve learned preparing is key…..key to being more confident not being certain about the outcomes. Mind over matter? For sure.

Here I go! Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand…..more to come.
