Description
For Tim (~the-anime-hero12 ) because we talked about this last night (believe it or not, on XBox Live chat!)This is a PhotoPass shot from when I went to see Aurora on February 16th at the French Showcase. She either asked me if I'd seen or fought a dragon, and it became a moment where Disney wisdom took over and resulted in me saying something I didn't know I had it in me to say.
One thing that came from delaying my second College Program session to help my sister was that I remembered how much I respected people who were terrific at what they did but were equally as, if not more, devoted to being there for their families. And so I found myself saying, "Even if I'd defeated a dragon, I don't know if that would prove I'm strong. What would is if I'd been there for my family and friends when they need me."
Aurora's face lit up. She simply answered, "And you always have!" and then gave me a hug. The way she said it and the way she looks here, I sometimes wonder if she was hoping and waiting for me to say that. At that moment, I felt very thankful that she and the others had helped me pass two tests - one being coming back and doing it the right way even after having to delay it and the other being that conversation, which was, if not a test of it, an opportunity to prove that facing that added challenge had indeed taught me something.
I really hope you like it - feel free to emote and comment! Also, if you fave this, please leave a comment as well. For many more Disney park photos from Anaheim and Paris as well as Orlando, check out Our Disney Adventures ([link] ).

It may not have been a test at all, but that's what I sensed. I felt like I was being challenged to realize or remember that true strength is not necessarily physical.

Glad you liked it, Cez! It was definitely very sweet of her to do that, even if I indeed gave the right answer.

My pleasure! Sorry for the trouble last night - I wanted to chat (had my headset and all) but it somehow wouldn't make the connection.

Very sweet of her, that's for sure. I'm both thankful and glad that it was because I'd learned enough from what I had gone through to give the wise or sweet (or both - use what word(s) you will) answer. Glad you liked it!

Um...hours of it. (Grins sheepishly) Some stands out from the rest, though. It does include some audio from group meetings.

All right, here's the first one. I've decided to just give you the link here if you want to share it - here it is. It's March 24th at the Veranda: [link] (Cinderella comes in at the 8:10 mark.)

I'd probably say "Well, I've written about me kicking fantasy bad guys from here to Tuesday, but in the real world it's being yourself and being there for your loved ones that matter." or something like that. Tough, but cute/wise too.

Very true. (Applauds) I think the danger is real, though, even if it doesn't come in the form of literal dragons (it could be self-doubt, dealing with family issues and so forth).
