Scott’s flowers visited Disney’s Grand Floridian to help seal the bond
The purpose of this post is to help those needing healing, to heal just a little more. It doesn’t start out sounding like that though.
Dear Son, you have an interesting set of parents, both employed for the past 29 years at Walt Disney World. You live with the nightly option to look out any of our back windows, or simply sit at the dinner table, and watch Disney’s Magic Kingdom fireworks.
And wether we watch or not, hearing the booms is never an option, it comes inside our home even with the windows shut.
And during the day, the Walt Disney World Railroad steam train’s whistle, and the ferry boat’s horns.
Coming home last night from Scott’s “Celebration of Life” service, driving through “town” (WDW), God put His gentle hand on my soul and said, “Remember the words Frank spoke in his speech, and how he was afraid he couldn’t ever bear to go back to Disney, unless he went right away, and how Disney’s Grand Floridian visit was the best thing he could have done to keep his Brother’s memory alive?”

that boy don’t look sad, nor confused
Being disorganized makes us sad and confused. And it does not make us hopeful.
Losing a good person to a tragic death, leaves us sad and confused also. And if handled well, can lead to hope.
That’s what we can pray for.

The past few days, and this photo, don’t make sense at first glance. Maybe they never will.
Maybe they’ll be crystal clear someday.
Time will tell.
What do we do in the meantime?

I’ll spend more time traveling backroads with my wife and son
The main point: We wait for the time to be perfect. It never is.
When is the perfect time to ask a profoundly simple question like:
When our life changes, we will spend more time ________.
Our answer, most likely, is, “Later”.
(I’d write more. Wait, already doing that. I’d publish books.)

initiative with our own lack of initiative = freedom, joy
What if we tried attacking our personal organization weaknesses instead of coddling them?
Could our biggest opportunity lie in doing the opposite of normal?
Decent chance we’ll never know, you know?

Abbey Ryan is a Linchpin. Inspired by “A Painting A Day” movement, she began in 2007 and hasn’t stopped.
Makes us wonder what we might start to do each day, and how far we’d get if we did that one thing every single day for a long, long time.
We’d have to be decently organized in order to carve out time (energy) every single day, and not let a day go by without doing it.
And on the days we aren’t especially organized, we’d have to be decently committed to doing it anyway, whether we felt like it or not.
