‘if you can dream it, you can do it.’ -walt disney

Today, the “Happiest Place on Earth” turns 69 years old. After a year of construction and a $17 million investment  (the equivalent of nearly $200 million today), Disneyland welcomed its first visitors, inviting thousands of studio staffers, construction workers, members of the press, and company sponsors to preview the Anaheim, California, park before it opened to the public the following day. At the time, tickets to explore Adventureland, Frontierland, Fantasyland, Tomorrowland, and Main Street USA cost $1 for adults and 50 cents for kids.

American movie producer, artist, and animator Walt Disney (1901 – 1966) at the end of opening day, as he sits on a bench in his Disneyland amusement park, Anaheim, California, USA. 
“To all who come to this happy place: Welcome. Disneyland is your land,” Walt Disney once said.

(perhaps me casually speaking spanish with a new friend i will meet)

—

looking forward to learning

a bit more of the language before i travel this summer

i think i have a really good base though

i’ve been learning spanish with my pre-k classes for 20 years

so i’m pretty good with

animals, colors, family members, my name, yes and no, and hello and goodbye

plus,  i can burst into songs and dances in spanish as needed.

(i’ll keep this as my wild card)

i’m going to guess this is the car of an artist

i wonder what her/his vision is

for these beautiful pieces of wood.

a treasure trove.

“my work isn’t about form. it’s about seeing.

i’m excited about seeing things,

and i’m interested in the way i think other people see things.

it is not enough to stare up the steps – we must step up the stairs.”

every morning brings new potential,

but if you dwell on the misfortunes of the day before,

you tend to overlook tremendous opportunities.

went to buy my teaching partners a little something with a mexican flair as part of their holiday gifts. ole, ole, ole!

—

 

 when i got home, actually put my glasses on, and went to wrap their gifts, i discovered that i had bought this.

when i gave them their gifts, they were not surprised and very understanding and said it had been a rough week and maybe firewater was more what they needed anyway. this is why we work well as a team.

Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such. – Henry Miller

that she understood this, while many people with the gift of sight, do not, but she was the one with the true sense of vision.
