December 2009

Miraculously survived a roll-over car accident on the 15 freeway north. My sister and I were in the back seat, sharing ear pods listening to Michael Buble’s “Crazy” when the surreal experience occurred. Our SUV flipped multiple times and rolled down embankment in the pouring rain. Tow truck driver reported having to add an extension to the 150 foot cable to pull out the Envoy.

January 2010

Business as usual. Grateful for life. Mom appears tired and has a back ache that doesn’t relent.

February 2010

Working at the flower store for Valentines day. Though not as busy as years past due to recession, we still work hard. Mom is tired and a week later goes to the emergency room where she is diagnosed with stage 3 Multiple Myeloma. My life is turned upside down.

March -April 2010

Tommy Austin’s Florist is sold. Cancelled Spain trip. I can barely walk in the store without envisioning 15 years of life there. I gather our personal belongings which are co-mingled with the store’s backroom merchandise and things. Mom is in and out of the hospital.

May -June 2010

Hawaii with the law school kids for Tara-Dactyl’s wedding on Oahu. A short respite, I remember the good old days. As usual, Jana is an extrodinary host and we hit up all of the classic spots.

August 2010

Kauai with my high school friends for Rhonda’s wedding on Kauai. It is an interesting experience.

September 2010

30th Birthday party at El Cid in Silverlake. Loved ones come celebrate and watch Flamenco dancing. I head to Paris the next day for crepes, crepes and a beautiful mass at Notre Dame.

November 2010

Second Chaired my first trial. Learned I can keep my poker face under the most shocking of circumstances.

October 2010

909 friends dress up as KISS for Halloween. Once again voted best group costume at the annual party.

December 2010

Christmas with my family. Many things happened this last year, but the family is still intact and Aiden is as cute as ever.

Merry Christmas

Some things to consider

Lesson of the day is to let go of your worry about a certain thing or situation and leave a vacuum for the universe to fill it with something so great you could never imagine!
