My brain is a dastardly villain that, for the next 7 days, will have me checking various news sources at least twice a day for headlines like, "Canadian Celebrities in Central American Plane Crash," or, "Tourists Kidnapped in Costa Rica," or, "Sightseeing Van Crashes in Costa Rican Mountains." I can think it through all nice and rational and quote myself statistics and tell myself not to be a fruitloops killjoy, but it'll always creep back up on me. <br /><br />I'm thrilled beyond description that the universe has bestowed a fabulous bit of well deserved awesomeness on Deb and Barbara. "Reap what you sow," "karma," whatever you want to call it, Deb and Barbara do so much very special good in this world, and I'm glad something good has magically kissed them. They are such blessings that it is a delight to see them blessed. I can't wait to read about their travels and see their photographs. This trip is a good, good thing for them!<br /><br />But, always, always, there will be this steady, insidious drumbeat of anxiety in the background: "Please, God, bring them home safely. Please, God, bring them home safely. Please, God, bring them home safely. Please, God, bring them home safely." Despite all the things I know to be true, an element of fear holds my thoughts hostage.Rigelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-8788564587866313402012-01-04T15:16:57.542-05:002012-01-04T15:16:57.542-05:00HAVE FUN IN COSTA RICA!!!!!!!!HAVE FUN IN COSTA RICA!!!!!!!!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06785247788175367281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-77775646404772204852012-01-04T14:55:13.572-05:002012-01-04T14:55:13.572-05:00*nervously awaits word of safe arrival**nervously awaits word of safe arrival*Rigelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-68186977667739581702012-01-04T09:16:21.780-05:002012-01-04T09:16:21.780-05:00Well, you guys, we're on the plane safely and ...Well, you guys, we're on the plane safely and just waiting for takeoff!!!
