______________________________
 
·       we are all watching/living our own in-flight movies.  we are stars, supporting actors, props, directors… and even our own audience.
 
·       sometimes, we get caught-up in the movie.
 
·       sometimes, it’s more analytical.  we watch it for technical reasons, or for the acting.
 
·       in the book “illusions,” richard bach notes that the whole movie is there, on the reel.  beginning, plot, end.  we can jump-in at any point, we can re-watch, and we can avoid certain types of dramas.
 
·       in the end, there is no better movie… than the one that you are watching, right now. 
 
go ahead.  get caught-up in the drama (or not).  feel the feelings!
 
we can even pretend things (e.g. that this is the eve of a “new year”), and "tomorrow" will be 2025!  brilliant!
