Sunset.
rest well, dear...
Evening: An inspiring, one-sided encounter in a public parking lot.
Night: Another note to self --
"All crew members report for duty. The Captain has had an epiphany and she will be retiring to the holodeck shortly. The First Officer will be assuming command of the ship. All crew members will now report for duty."
It happened! It finally happened and it's the real deal. I was in a parking lot today. I was waiting in the car while the husband and the kids made a 'quick' trip into the local HellMart (I don't like it in there). A woman approached with her shopping cart. She looked confused for a moment, like she thought my car was her own. Then she kept going to a nearly identical car parked a little farther down.
:-)
In that split second, when she looked like she thought she had the right car, but before the realization that she didn't, the curtain rose on the stage that lives in my mind. The lights came on. I saw it. I saw the opening scene of my new story! Yes, it opens in a parking lot. What if the wrong car turned out to be the right one? I feel something. I feel an incredibly supportive strength in one of the characters in this opening scene. I'm going for a ride now. This is it.
I will fly...

Sounds like a propitious beginning! Will be eager to hear how it goes.
I sure hope so, Billie. It does feel right, though. That's a good sign. :-)
That was me. Seriously, last week hubbie and I switched vehicles so he could have my oil inspected. I walked out of work, and got mad because the key wouldn't open the truck door - only to realize that it wasn't my truck but a co-workers. oops.
Sounds like a good story.
Will be interested to hear how the tale unfolds.

Hi, Enola. That was me, too. Yesterday! It looked quite a bit like my car.
Thanks, Rosie. You know I will tell you. :-)
