Day 67: Light the Way

December 6, 2022

Dear Disney,

Today’s Lovepops Mickey and Friends Advent was a lantern. The story said that Mickey carried the lantern with them into the woods to light there way. Figuratively speaking Mickey was Minnie’s guiding light. I like that.

In real life there is no one guiding light. As we go through life, we will find ourselves with different lights at different times in our journey. Sometimes the light is a parent or gaurdian, sometimes its a friend or colleague. Sometimes the light is sitting next to you knitting a hat for a work friend.

It doesn’t matter. Walt Disney said that “…it all started with a mouse.” For Disney, Mickey was his guiding light, then it was the dream of Disneyland, then Disneyworld. His light kept changing throughout his life. I am sure, that throughout his adult, married life, one of his guiding lights was his wife, Lillian, I mean without her there would be no Mickey as she was the one who named him.

So today, think about who your guiding light, or lights, are.

Without further ado, here is today’s story excerpt.

And here is the delightful lamp.

Till tomorrow.

Sincerely,

Jim Dear and Darling
