99 Days of Something – #1

Last year I managed a 100 day series of blog posts starting with this one below. 100 Days of Wonder was inspired by having booked tickets to a 100 Years of Wonder Disney on Ice and being 100 days out from our Disney trip. I also had Covid so wasn’t up to doing much and spent a lot of time in my head, watching TV and scrolling through photos. You can read the whole – rather random series by going back through the posts if you wish. I did that yesterday because I wondered about doing something similar again. Yesterday was our 100 days out from our next Disney trip day. This time Disney Paris. I realised I missed the discipline of taking time to reflect and write every day… and then I didn’t actually write anything yesterday.

So, here I am wondering whether it is worth trying again to string a series of blog posts together in a similar way. 99 Days of the discipline of writing, even just a little bit, every day might help keep me focused and might actually help me make progress with some writing projects. What do you need to write well? I have never been one for sitting at a desk. I always had a desk, I rarely sat at one. I am more of a notebook on the sofa, typing away in a coffee shop or lounging somewhere random kind of a girl for writing. But I do spend a lot of time at my desk at home so today I put up some things to make me smile. On the left I framed the packaging from the 3 Disney Coffee bean varieties we bought on our last trip. On the right are 3 postcards I bought in Philadelphia in May. So yeah, my writing and creativity is usually fuelled by Disney, Coffee and the inspirational words of others. Let’s see how this works for the next 99 days.

100 Days of Wonder – #100

This lovely towel art was left for us at the end of our last trip and finally, it’s time! So Mousekeeping, we’re coming! We are at the airport hotel ready to fly in the morning.

I worked this morning and it’s taking me a while to wind down and switch off. I’ve just taken work email and Teams off my phone and am slowly getting into the Disney headspace. I’m looking forward to creativity, fun, active rest and silliness. I’m looking forward to seeing what towel art we get and I’m looking forward to smiles, joy and wonder.

See you on the other side.

100 Days of Wonder – #99

It’s been snowing. Anxiety about getting to the airport tomorrow has been creeping up but I can’t control the snow so we’ll just have to deal with it tomorrow. I have been distracting myself with re-packing bits, triple checking reservations and thinking about what I’m most looking forward to. And I think it really is the just being there, allowing myself to fall into the stories and believe in the magic, suspended reality for a while and spend time in Galaxies far far away. I love the details everywhere but I am least familiar with Galaxy’s Edge so, just because I am excited about exploring it more, here’s a photo of the water refill point that is completely in keeping with the theming- space travel and exploring alien planets is thirsty work after all!
