When I awoke this morning to look out at the day I spotted four crows working diligently on crocheting a lovely scarf for the talking tree in which they lived on. A kind gesture of course, despite what people say about crows. I noted that today was my neighbours turn to have the winter snow cloud above their house, and all the snow had melted from mine and I supposed that the next being to get the snow cloud would be the talking tree which would explain why the crows were feverishly crocheting. I don't think I have every seen anyone crochet quite as quick, let alone crows.
Despite having had a full 18 hours sleep my feet were tired, perhaps from attending my nightly skeleton dance rehearsal, the skeletons never seem to tire, so I come to assume that it in fact is never your bones that get tired. We must assume that it is rather the mind that tires and the bones that wish to dance all night. I stepped onto the massaging carpet and allowed each strand to work its magic. The thing with the massaging carpet and feet is sometimes the carpet thinks its funny to tickle.
I dressed for the morning and plugged my ears as I passed by the disapproving mirror and found the approving mirror in the hall way. I should really put away that disapproving mirror but every time I try the thing calls me such nasty names that I lack the strength of character and will to remove it. I curtsy before the approving mirror and say “Today, I shall do some thing grand.” The mirror smiles and says “of course”

That's Impossible
Door Knob: Simply impassable.
Alice: You mean impossible.
Door Knob: No, I mean impassable, nothings impossible.
The moment we believe that something is impossible we limit our beliefs to what is possible. When we say that something is impossible we leave a thought without hope and a thought without hope leaves little room for growth.
In this day and age I have seen more impossible things become possible that I am lead to believe that all things are possible. Believing that all things are possible frees the mind from the restrictions of matter and form. If the Wright brothers believed that it was impossible for man to fly, we would have never done the impossible and made it to the moon. One impossible thing leads to another.
The more we believe in the possibilities of things the more we find our world expanding and growing. Yes, it is improbable that man can fly without the use of machines but I will not venture to guess that it is impossible because all things are possible. The word improbable is more accurate to life, it leaves hope. Impossible diseases have been cured, ridiculous discoveries have been made, and chaos has caused order and vice versa.
I say that the world is more nonsense then we stuffy intellectuals would like to believe. We send sound through the air, we live on a big round ball and float in nothingness. Just because we have rules and laws that govern the possible, doesn't mean that science can't break them. But science doesn't break the rules, it works with them, it discovers new ways to play with gravity and what we call reality.
Our world is a Wonderland, when you stop to think of it. We have challenges that we overcome but the one key ingredient to overcoming any challenge is the belief that one can, and if you think something is impossible, for you, it is. Walt Disney said “It's kind of fun to do the impossible.” I disagree, its a lot of fun.

Graceful as usual
When I was in Zellers all dressed in my finery looking for an appropriate pair of shoes to go with my gown, a little old lady, surprised by my attire, asked me if I was late for my own wedding, when I explained that I was living Disney, she smiled and said “Cinderella right?”
“Why yes.” I retorted in my most Princess sort of way, as she smiled a little sly smile. “Um, Cinderella, you're dress is a little caught in the back.” Oh yes folks, graceful, charming Cinderella had a piece of her dress stuck in her underwear. Thankfully it was only an edge of the under skirt that was caught and that I was not exposing myself to the Mall. With all the grace that I could muster, I giggled “Oh my, that just won't do.” I said as I delicately yanked the dress out of the side of my unmentionables. “I suppose that's what happens when you have to drive your own coach.” I said, saving the day, or at least in my mind.
Somehow, I think that kind woman went home and had quite a tale to tell her friends and family, about how she helped Cinderella pull her dress out of her underwear, heroes are everywhere, and I am grateful that my hero came in such a sweet and kind little package.

What do you mean, I'm Crazy?
Living Disney is probably the least crazy thing that I have ever done. What was crazy was all the years I spent trying to live up to my idea of what I thought that others wanted me to be. Is it crazy to want to see joy in people's faces? No, I don't think so. Perhaps its a bit extreme but, isn't that what Disney's all about, taking creative vision and exploding it to the extreme?
This experience has been a challenge, I sat in the parking lot at Zellers for about 5 minutes, breathing and thinking I can do this, I can do this. The fear is not that I am going to be carted off to the loony bin but that I will be judged, but the question is for what? For dressing up and having fun? For playing, for finding joy in my life? I swallowed my fear, and readjusted my ego, and away I went.
Crazy or not I am having the time of my life.
