Getting past fears This driving job I have sometimes scares me. But, the fear is really before I leave. I will be leaving again today after not driving for almost two weeks. I will drive and deliver a truck (just the truck,nothing inside) to the state of Missouri, then come home. Then, I will drive a new bus all the way cross country. Once I get going on these long, cross country trips, I actually really enjoy the journey. It is a chance to see new things. What scares is the possibility of hitting snow in the winter now, though. Hopefully this doesn't happen. I bring my small laptop along, so I can conduct some of the classes I give online to help people with English. It is fun for me as I really enjoy talking to people around the world. My phone can act as an internet connection for my laptop. I stop in some restaurant or someplace to give these classes. It is interesting for the other person, then, too, because they get to explore this country with me in this virtual world of the internet. Well, I need to get ready. It almost seems that getting ready for these trips is harder than actually doing the driving.
