Booked 6pm showing of Star Wars at Disney Springs. Upper right shows which showtime.

 

calling AAA after accident
Accident happened at 5:43pm. First call, after Chris and i exchanged insurance information, lasted nearly nine minutes. Tow truck arrived after sunset.

 

We watched, in the correct order, the final three Star Wars episodes Thursday, Friday, and yesterday (Saturday).

When offered, he accepted the opportunity (with only an hour before showtime) to go see The Force Awakens (episode seven).

The transformation of Downtown Disney (which i knew like the back on my hand) to Disney Springs caught me off guard when the normal parking option was cut off.

In roughly three seconds of looking left to quickly assess the situation as we drove up the off ramp to the parking garage, it was too late to avoid a rear-end collision.

Taking solace in being a rare, speed-limit driver. The exit ramp was long and uphill, allowing for a gradual and natural deceleration.

Those two factors greatly reduced the severity of the impact.

Where would i be if i had not begun

Prolific writers and speakers
LAX airport 6:15am a few days ago. The image kept changing.

 

Where would i be if i had not begun writing five daily, differently-themed blogs on April Fools Day 2009?

And on the miraculous completion of the 100-day self-imposed writer’s boot camp challenge, where would i be if i had not decided to write on the 101st day?

Walt Disney’s dream for the Florida Project was first visualized for others in the rough sketch above. Take solace in the humble beginnings of your big dreams. It’s how the process works. There is no shortcut.

The key is organizing our auto-response

Just a friendly reminder that i experience the full range of emotions that everyone else feels. My writing can easily be interpreted as being without the pain and frustration brought on by living in a challenging world.

The key is organizing our auto-response to daily challenges, pressures, and disappointments.

There is only one response to the inevitable, this.

The last day we fight to stay organized is

Remy at Epcot
Remy, “Anyone can cook”. Me, “Anyone can be organized”.

 

The last day we fight to stay organized is the most organized we will ever be for the rest of our lives.

As organized as i am, i’m on another push to thin my personal belongings, let go of things i may need someday, and rid myself of things that need protecting.

If our home was on fire what would we grab?

Everything is replaceable.

This is a hard lesson – to live as though we believe it.

Wow, that felt really good to write that.
