:D Hello everyone. I just thought to share this with you all, beuase your my buddys!- I finally got a chance to do "Give Kids the World"- over at the Give Kids the World Village in kissimee Florida. I was good firends with Mickey Mouse when I did it, and boy- Iv'e had a rough few weeks down hear at Disney, and being able to get a chance to do this- was really uplifiting for me.

I was looking forward to this all week. It was not like what most of my co-workers told me, and I am glad. I was preparing myself for the worst, and I wouldn't want to break character because of crying or something, or have it obvious that Mickey Mouse was concerned or worried in a more human manner. I was determined to keep character and swallow anything that may have affected making the children happy.- That was not hard to do. It was really one of my mot happy, uplifting shifts I've had- in sight of waiting so long to do it (And have strings polled to get it on my schedule). I really hope to get a chance to do this more often, this is my reason for coming down hear- and the feeling of doing this makes me so happy and thankful for the life I was given, despite the bad days and the things I would take for granted, doing "Give Kids" really makes everything come together life wise, and dong that makes me appreciate life a little bit more- plus I make them extra happy in return and that just makes me happy, because I was a part of their joy.

Ive been getting a pretty strong suggestion on what to do with myself- if I don't stay with Disney and that is to become a nun. A friend of mine, whom I talk to on a basis, sugessted this to me, when I told her my intentions for comming down to Disney, and that ws to give kids their last days on earth, magical ones' and their family, unforgetable memories. I wanted to give kids a happyness only their imaginations can bring out- and that is Mickey Mouse.-- and she sugessted becoming a nun, and doing that type of work, outside Disney.

Cense then, It's still in the back of my head, and I spent most of my afternoon at the Chapal today, in thought. Douring this I went to confess and stayed for the stations ofthe cross- and just reflected on what God wants me to do with my life. It'll be a year cense I became Catholic (April 15th)- and the feeling of wanting to be closer to God and serve him is still as strong a feeling now as it was then...Iv'e finally desided to be a little more open about this thought, beause maybe, if i hear myself talk about it- it'll help me in my dessision making....thanks' ya'll for reading none the less.

I'm no expert in life. But seems to me if you keep finding yourself going down certain paths, and things keep falling into line, and you feel a genuine pull, and good people come into your life that guide you along that same path....
Give yourself some time, do some research, but if it's the right thing for you, then it'll be a great thing!
:D

Hello Usagi,

About a year ago my partner taped St. Teresa's prayer up on our bathroom mirror:

May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you....
May you be content knowing you are a child of God.... Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.

-----

Focusing on that prayer when I am overwhelmed has helped me many times this year. I still get stressed out a lot and this prayer helps me.

Making families joyful is pretty powerful. You are doing good stuff now. I believe whatever you decide to do, God will use you to spread his love.

Much love to you.

Peace,

maka
