ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

NOVEMBER 18TH,  2012

If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side

It's  SUNDAY

HAPPY MICKY MOUSE DAY!

His first cartoon, Steamboat Willie, opened in New York on November 18, 1928. Two other cartoons, Plane Crazy and Gallopin’ Goucho, were completed first but released later. Mickey’s voice was Walt Disney, but the character was created by artist Ub Iwerks.

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, it's only fitting to mention that Macy's will be holding its annual Thanksgiving Day Parade  in New York City. The event takes place in Herald Square and will be telecast on NBC to an estimated 50 million people, never mind the 3 million attendees that will line the streets of the parade route! Naturally, Mickey Mouse will be among the giant balloons once again. He made his first appearance in the parade in 1935 when he led the procession as a 55-foot high balloon.

When people laugh at Mickey Mouse, it's because he's so human; and that is the secret of his popularity.

NEWS FROM HOME

Did you know:  Mickey's first words were, Hot dogs!

Having a two year old grandson that absolutely loves Micky Mouse,  I know they do sing , Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggety dog a lot!

Disney gave Mickey the resilient personality to keep trying to do the best he could, whatever the challenges.  Just as we keep on going every day trying to our best.  It's not always going to be a good day, but there is something good in every day.

All our dreams can come true, the optimistic Disney said, if we have the courage to pursue them.

The weather forecast through Thanksgiving says that we'll be in the upper 40's to low 50's with mostly sunny days.  That is really something to be THANKFUL for this time of year.  And although we have a slight chance of rain next Friday, Saturday, the day of our family celebration, promises to be sunny too.  We'll see...

Hope you all have a relaxing and restful Sunday !

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

You can dream, create, design, and build the most wonderful place in the world, 

but it requires people to make the dream a reality.
