4:30 p.m. Chicago O'Hare Airport

Took a much needed power nap from Albuquerque to Chicago. Had the chance to read the intro to Write It Down, Make it Happen. Really was provoked by her thought -- Expect Good Things.  I thought, "What a great mantra for my India SpaNomad Adventure!"

There are so many things I could think about but how productive to think about that.  So far, 2 key ideas are swirling in my head -- 1. See what I want to see and 2.Expect good things.

I'm sitting here at O'Hare drinking my $4 litre of water at a cafe and I must comment.  My flight from Albuquerque to here was early -- almost 30 minutes early and despite, as the stewardess reported that being a death knell of waiting, we were escorted directly and promptly to our gate.

Next, I was the first person to get my travel-on luggage that had been stowed under the Regional Jet we were on, despite being in row 15 and a waiting line of about 20 people to get theirs. Perfect timing.

Things are going really, really well! I expect good things to continue.
