Just keep swimming.

Disney movies are like crack in our house.  We're all addicted.  Hunter grew up with Andy, Buzz and Woody.  The Lion King taught me about life, love, death and family.  Jeff learned what his bare necessities are and Mater taught Will how to get r done.  I've seen them all, loved them all and taken lessons from each one.  Here's some of the big lessons the little mouse movies have taught me....

1.  The past can hurt.  But the way I see it, you can either run from it or learn from it.  (Rafiki - The Lion King)

2.  Even miracles take a little time.  (Fairy Godmother - Cinderella)

3.  Keep your chin up.  Someday, there will be happiness again. (Robin Hood)

4.  The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all.  (The Emperor - Mulan)

5.  Giving up is for rookies.  (Phil - Hercules)

6.  The very things that hold you down, lift you up.  (Timothy - Dumbo)

7.  Let your heart guide you.  It whispers, so listen closely.  (Little Foots Mother - The Land Before Time)

8.  Always let your conscience be your guide.  (Jiminy Cricket - Pinocchio)

9.  The seaweed is always greener in somebody else's lake.  (Sebastian - The Little Mermaid)

10.  Forever is a long, long time and time has a way of changing things.  (Big Mama - The Fox and the Hound).

But most importantly....just keep swimming, just keep swimming.  Thanks Dory!
