Travel monster

Ok, as many of you know, I used to be a horrible control-freak.  Horrible.  Monstrous.  Domineering to my family, and never feeling personal satisfaction.  More of an exhausted, empty feeling.  I have worked very hard to chill the frick out, and enjoy the moments as they come.  "Accept the things I cannot change..." and all that good stuff.  Travel prep makes me a WAY more psycho version of my former high-strung self.  I talk in a mean voice to loved ones, I get a sharp stress-induced neck pain, I can't sleep.  General unpleasantness.

I thought today of what I REALLY needed to travel, what I could not live without.  If handed a boarding pass & told to be ready in 3 minutes, what would I grab & go.

1. Shawl- pretty cover-up, blanket

2.  SUNSCREEN.  Always.

3.  Lip balm

4.  Passport






So really, what's to freak out about?
