Would you fly on 9/11

Hello, goodbye, until we meet again… if tomorrow never comes.

 

Would you fly on 9/11? Tomorrow is September 11, 2013 and I am flying to Philadelphia, through Atlanta.

So tonight I’ll tell a few special people something that I would simply assume they know but I never or rarely say.

I like when that realization occurs, and am not picky about what stimulates the realization.

Midlife hindsight is 20/20

Accidental photo not in focus. Like accidentally thinking things are more difficult than they are.

 

Midlife hindsight is 20/20. If we knew then what we know now, boy would our lives be different.

The echo of this wisdom is painfully obvious.

Self publishing for the first time seems overwhelming and something reserved for special, talented people.

Self publishing the second time is going to be a breeze.

Thirty years for the author to finally write the first sentence

Mid Life Celebration first edition finished at 130 pages (Sept 5, 2013)

 

Mid Life Celebration took 34 years, mostly because the first sentence took 30. Another two years to write. Two more to overcome the fear of shipping, and now another 100 days (estimate) for Xulon Press to publish.

Here is to hoping December 15, 2013 becomes a milestone day.

What must it be like to have an irrepressible desire to encourage others to do what they think they cannot?

Noticing a rainbow simply by chance is one thing. Pausing for a brief moment to photograph it to share with the world is another.

It is probably something like that.
