Freshman jump to an early lead during Spirit Week.
Cool weather and silly awards. On the short drive home from the High School safety assembly, i stopped at Publix for a few groceries.
It was a surprising wonderful few moments.
Parking in the shade, the car windows already down, there was a great song on the radio. i sat in the car until it was over, and couldn’t remember the last time i did that without feeling the stress of being late.
The Fall air was cooled even further by the breeze and walking in in just a t-shirt felt wonderful.
Without a list, i grabbed a cart and began in the produce section and casually worked my way around.
Made (unrushed) small talk with employees at two stations. And had a nice talk with the young man who pushed the groceries to the car and loaded them in.
To top it off, as i turned onto our street, the family who will soon be breaking ground next to us sat on a blanket under an Oak tree – later they shared they were having a prayer service for all the animals (including the ants) that will be displaced by their future home.

This breakfast meeting two days ago lasted three hours, because neither was over-scheduled.
A friend is bringing his lovely family from Ohio to Walt Disney World in two weeks. And it is in our trying to schedule time together that a blind spot was revealed just a few minutes ago while waiting for the microwave to finish heating a cup of water.
He’s here for one week. i’m out of town for three days, leaving us four days, including two weekend days, which i try to keep for Family. When you are out of town, your schedule is busier for a few days after you return, simply because you were out of town. You miss three days of normal daily chores. So you add those in upon your return and they appear on days where they normally don’t – so several normal busy days become busier busy days.
i’d like to play it by ear. He’d like to know in advance.
With his visit, time is exceptionally precious because he’s at WDW attempting to make the most of every minute.
On the other hand, i’m at WDW (home) too, but i’m trying to not over schedule my days because too many unexpected things happen. Having white space allows for them.
