Day 357 of 365

I remember it like it was yesterday... Going out and playing with the guests... Laughing and joking and dancing to the music in my head... Sharing the magic and wonder of the Disney dreams we all share... Playing with a rubber snake and having guests ask if it's real... And then when they ask, "is it real?" I would reply, "real fake..." and we would all laugh...

But wait... that wasn't five years ago... That was today... I haven't laughed and played like that with my trainee in a long time... We danced and sang songs and yes I really did play with a giant rubber python...Then as we closed down the village, Illuminations began and I saw the excitement and dreams in the eyes of my trainee... It is so awesome to get to see something new through the eyes of someone else... It's like experiencing it again for the first time...

Today was just another reminder that I am doing the right thing with my life right now and the break I had was what I needed to gain perspective... I don't know when my next TA will come along, but I will be ready when it does...

Love, peace and real fake snakes...

Day 52 of 365

Lesson for today, get down on a childs level sometime and really learn to play. I met my 2md cousin this evening. She is smart, outgoing, entertaining and she is only 3.5 years old. She reminded me how,to have fun tonight and she reminded me what unconditional love looks like. Not only was I invited to tea but.she asked me to read a story with her on the floor. She only knew my bff and I for a few hours yet she gave us both hugs goodbye. Kids are so willing to give others the benefit of the doubt and look beyond the physical appearance and get to know a person, why can't grownups do that as well? Something to ponder... Love, peace and stay away from things fried in grease... Musicsongbird

Day 587...Year 2

As I sit and ponder what I have done over the last almost 6 years at Disney, the one thing that stands out more than anything is how blessed I have been to work with the people I have worked with... My COT mentors, My Core Team, My Training Managers, My Typhoon Team...  I miss my Core Team very much but it makes me feel so good to know that we each support each other in all of our pursuits... I love when I am working at my desk and my IM alerts me and it's one of the Cores... Now I won't be getting those alerts from the Principal... It was a great time celebrating his new Teaching job last night but something I wish we had done was go around the table and share our favorite Principal story... So, I will share a few of mine... I had the honor of being his first Disney trainer in Future World North... It was me against 3 guys and out of the 3 he was the only one that still remains at Epcot... He was the first trainee to turn me bright red and leave me speechless and it
