In it held numerous pieces of advice from former TLC's.
In their very simple words, they made me feel a part of something bigger. And something very special.
Here were a few of my favorites:
"Most importantly, take the chance to reflect on the big picture of what you are doing on the road each day. It is very easy to get caught up with the To-Do list, stress, and drama of your daily life. Trust me, this will burn you out. If you take the chance to reflect on the true purpose of your job it will reenergize and refresh your outlook".
"Enjoy every minute of this experience. Seems obvious, but it goes by quickly: the great moments, the bad moments...even your breaks. Live this experience to the fullest and you won't regret anything".
With our advice from the ones who came before us, our resources at our fingertips, and our cell phones armed with numbers of those who would help us get through, we headed off for our big adventure.
Only, the airport decided I was not ready for my big adventure quite yet.
I arrived at the airport around noon for my 1:50 flight to Chicago. Then I would jump on my connecting flight.
The plane was delayed.
Then broken down.
Then being repaired.
Then being completely changed.
Then was two hours late to Indianapolis.
Resulting in me missing the only connecting flight on any airline out of Chicago.
I had spent the entire day in the airport, for no reason. However, it was a great chance to unwind, catch up with family and friends, and process.
Thankfully, I had four wonderful TLC's still in Indy.
We ended up having a fantastic dinner for my 2nd "Last night in Indy".
And my stomach is still in pain from laughing so hard.
Tomorrow I will attempt to leave again. We will see how this one goes.
Here's to hoping!
