It's been a while since I have ventured out into the blogosphere. Just to report: the butterfly is still struggling to escape the cocoon of the comfortable and spread its wings toward the friendly skies of space-a travel.
I'm making slow but steady progress. I got a "smart phone" and now I can send and receive e-mails. I can also surf the web with my hand held device, which can also operate overseas. It beats lugging that 7 pound laptop around. It's hard to make my fingers fit into those tiny boxes for typing but I'm improving with practice. It's amazing what persistence can produce.
Today I go to the post office to begin the process to renew my passport. It will be good for another decade through my 86th birthday. I think that will probably be long enough.
All the while, every cell in my body (all 50 trillion of them, sounds like the national debt) seem to cry out; "your window of opportunity has closed, your next stop is a rest home!" I'm determined to add some theology to my biology. Those cells, all 50 trillion of them, are not infallible or omniscient. My spirit tells me; "it's never too late to leave the nest and experience a new adventure. " Can theology trump biology? I want to believe it can.
So I'm taking short flights: 1st to San Jose and then Santa Cruz to celebrate my granddaughters 30th birthday. Then, on to Yosemite to experience those magnificent water falls and the giant Sequoias. Then over to the California coast to take a tour through Hearst Castle. My daughter was an excellent driver. She will drive me to Southern California to attend my grandson's high school graduation; a proud day for the family. Then who knows? As I take little baby steps, I want to build confidence for extending my comfort zone into ever widening circles. Are you with me? Can we encourage one another?
