Gratefully, today was uneventful in terms of car trouble, weather and other unforeseeable natural disasters.
Finally feeling like we've gotten into the groove of driving, Jeannie and I spent the day listening to Abraham Hicks and Jana Stanfield from my iPod and Jeannie's Joel Olsten cds.
The big lesson of the day: "Nothing you want is upstream."
Basically, it's about going with the flow and not resisting what is because when we resist, we get more of what we're resisting. Simple, huh?
While we listened, here are some of the sights we enjoyed:
We also had some wonderful talks (as we have throughout the whole trip) prompted by the concepts shared in the programs. We came to the conclusion that this road trip has been like one big personal development seminar for both of us, which is pretty cool.
And now something funny.
For all of the previous posts, I have used photos that I took while the car was moving with my little credit card digital camera since Jeannie had been doing most of the driving. Some I took out the front window, others I would put down the side window and take.
Today, I drove and asked her to take some pictures. Here were her first attempts:
We both laughed hysterically and she announced, "I had no idea how hard it was to take a good picture while moving." And, here's one more...
Shifting gears again.
Today was supposed to be our final day of driving, however, with the delays earlier in the trip, we didn't drive the 500 miles per day as planned, so we still have one more day of driving. We estimate it to be about 6 or 7 hours which will be less than the 10 to 11 we have been doing.
When I realized this--sometime around 4pm this afternoon--I began doing some scrambling to reschedule Monday appointments and contact CoachU about possibly needing subs for my classes since I won't be anywhere near a landline tomorrow. This turned my evening into a bit of a frenzy.
Since it's Sunday, I was only able to leave messages. I'm trusting that all will be well.

Missing your daily post and hoping you made it to SoCal!
Good luck with the move-in. I've enjoyed the great stories and pics. We all have some horror stories from moving (I fell and wound up in the emergency room when the movers were at my house)...but I wouldn't say we all have actual "haunted" stories. Next time you might want to ask the spirit to leave! :)
Talk to you soon!
