Wonderment - In Perspective

There are five basic food groups that our body needs, I should look those up some day. Similarly, there are some basic groups that the soul needs and  I'm going to give some thoughts on the "wonder" group. Wonder - to be filled with admiration, amazement, or awe; marvel. There is a memory from my childhood that definitely left an impression, my earliest memory of wonderment. I want to say I was about 4 or 5 years old  and my parents...

Dream #2 - Disney by the Numbers

If the latter you will probably identify with Tony Caselnova, owner of Disney By The Numbers. "I took my first trip to Disney when I was 13 and became completely fascinated with how things operated."

I was expecting a price that I couldn't afford. I had gone out that...

When I was a kid, maybe around 9 or 10 years old, I saw a cartoon of Goofy driving a car at Disneyland. Unlike the actual ride, it appeared to me  he was driving all through out the magical park. I was in a state of awed admiration, or wonderment. I asked my mom if we could go there some day  and I think she said maybe, which I decided meant yes.
