angst isn’t worth it

Before I left home a few days ago, I had a number of concerns. It may surprise you to know that I’m pretty good at angst.

— the cancellation of my flight due to severe weather around the country didn’t happen.

— my two-hour delayed flight was actually on time.

— snow and ice on all the roads was at home, not in Texas where I was going.

— by changing our appointment by a day, my granddaughter and I did get tattoos!

— the Rice WBB game wasn’t cancelled, it was just played an hour earlier. They won! An aside: Valerie and I have been to a game each of the four years she’s been at Rice!

— Beth and I did get to church, however due to icy roads, Holy Family Episcopal church, was on Zoom.

— due to icy roads, the Houston Symphony was canceled on Sunday afternoon. However, we were provided a recording of the concert from the previous night. It was like a personal concert in her home!

— due to icing at home, there was no power, the possibility of no water, and 55° in the bedroom. So I stayed another day in Houston with my best friend. This gave us time to plan another trip in the summer.

Today is a new day. Traveling mercies.
