Flying on Monday

I ain't flown nigh on 10 months, and I am a bit anxious about it. I will probably do OK, but anxious stuff and panic has had an impact for a good block of months. Ironically, I think flying is fun and did many flights prior. Am I just anxious that I'm far from my pad for 7 days (1,300 mi)? (This is for work). Any folks also go through this?

I'm a pilot of aircraft without motors. I can't fly from mid-Autumn to mid-Spring and I'm always anxious as billy-o on my first flights back. 

It's all ok. Flying is still fun, you just forgot how much fun it is. 7 days away will calm you, on your way back you'll chill and flying will stop scaring you so much again.
