Opportunity is like jelly to your peanut butter. I’ve had a lot of good opportunities in my life. I’ve taken some and missed some. Sometimes just one opportunity can mean the difference between a better life and a fair one. When we see an opportunity in life, we must take it. Whether it’s a shot at learning a new skill, or the chance to grab a discount getaway, or the hope of finding new love. Because opportunities don’t last forever, and we have no idea when one will come again.

I’m not sure this book will have the same kick for anyone who didn’t grow up reading comics. But I remember when the back pages were filled with ads that offered X-ray glasses, pet sea monkeys, spy pens, 7-foot monsters, and a nuclear submarine. In Mail-Order Mysteries, it reveals the actual products kids actually got in the mail. It’s a must-have for old school comic book fans.
Definitely one of my favorite (if not my favorite) Disney shorts out there. I loved the positive relationship between two people who’ve lived a long, happy life together. And rekindles their passion for life and each other on one magical night. It’s definitely worth a watch. 5 stars from me for sure!
Remember Pop Rocks? That was the coolest candy ever! You tossed a handful of these small candies into your mouth, and they popped and crackled! It’s the candy that was fun as a kid and probably hurts your teeth as an adult. Ahh… the joy of being a grown-up.

‘I have observed something… The fastest runner doesn’t always win the race, and the strongest warrior doesn’t always win the battle. The wise sometimes go hungry, and the skillful aren’t necessarily wealthy. Those who are educated don’t always lead successful lives. It’s all decided by timing and opportunity.’ – Ecclesiastes 9:11
There are a lot of things that reveal a true friend. Being supportive, showing up during tough times, finding it in ones heart to forgive. But the most important thing that reveals a true friend… is keeping secrets. Secrets can change everything, that’s why we all search for someone who we can confide in. One with a listening ear who will understand, and a heart that will never judge. When someone finds that in you, respect their trust and always keep secrets. That is the surest way to receive trust in return.
