Thank you for your support and good wishes, my friends. So far, so good. I successfully picked up my rental car and drove to my parents. The guy who gave me the car walked me through all its features very patiently and gave me a carefully marked map. I was grateful! I guess he could tell I was nervous. He was even so kind as to tell me that my husband is very lucky because I am beautiful and that the Holy Spirit would be with me as I drove. In Oklahoma speak, that's highly encouraging and supportive talk (it's a male-dominated, Christian kind of place).

I was just grateful to get some help and support.

Got lost once but pulled over and figured it out. Made it home just when I said I'd be pulling in.

Most importantly, mom and dad were wonderful, loving and so supportive! Mom exhibited shock that I managed to drive myself here alone, but she was positive about it. Maybe this will be a really good trip. I am very hopeful.

Again, thank you for your excellent coping suggestions (using the car for short escapes, calling on my support network). I am *very* fortunate to have such loving friendships and right now I am especially grateful.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

I've decided that I'm going to try and drive my parents everywhere this weekend.

That sounds like a wonderful and loving way to exercise your agency.

my husband is very lucky
Well, that's true.

because I am beautiful
That's very true.

and that the Holy Spirit would be with me as I drove.
Also True. Maybe not exactly the way he intended.

Got lost once but pulled over and figured it out.
That's fantastic! Almost better than getting there without incident, because you know you can handle it.

mom and dad were wonderful, loving and so supportive!
I'm SO glad! That's what Thanksgiving should be about--loving and supportive family! Hooray! I'm so happy for you!
