When I wrote my first post last Summer, I never dreamed that six months later, Ed and I would begin a "whole new life"--taking off this week by ourselves in just what we can carry in our car for six to nine months on an adventure living in Los Angeles, California. And when it is through, Ed will have a whole new lease on life--a new lung, hopefully ten more years of good quality life, and we'll be able to travel again, even go to the cabin at Island Park and fish, both which we had ruled out.
So this week begins my whole new life in more ways than one! Am I nervous and frightened? Of course. Am I excited? More hopeful than excited. My thoughts are echoed by a dream Ed had that woke him up at 1:10 a.m. this morning. He said it was a nightmare. He dreamed we were in Europe or the Middle East and finding all these wonderful treasures. However, we couldn't get them in the car--they kept falling out. He became more and more frustrated because when they fell out they would be lost and couldn't be retrieved.
