One thing I will never get tired of doing on this blog is thanking the wonderful people who take time out of their day to read it.  Especially this time of year, it’s easy to get a little down.  There’s so much anger and rage on television.  In the U.S. it seems that all anyone can manage to do is find reasons to be divided.  But those of you who come here, read, comment and share your stories with me give me hope that the world is actually a pretty awesome place.

The past few months have been a bit stressful on my end and, with any luck, I’ll have some very awesome news for you guys about a big life change hopefully coming my way that will be an awesome pay off for all that stress.  But in the meantime, I’m still waiting with fingers crossed and lots of hope.  To say that this blog and working on it has been an escape from the craziness of day to day life is an understatement.  On certain days, this little blog has been a life saver.

There are lots of things that I want to do here.  I want to cover more Disney Park History.  I want to talk more about news, trailers and movies.  I want to share more about my next novel coming up next year.  I want to answer more comments!!!  Despite the fact that I really do this blog for fun, it’s sometimes easy to forget that and get bogged down in a never ending to do list.

AHHHHH!  LIFE IS HARD!

But learning to take deep breaths and remind myself is all part of the flow, and having amazing readers who take the time to look at all these quick thoughts I put onto the internet makes it all seem pretty worth it.  Look, I’m rambling.  I know I am, but the point of all of this is to say that despite all the stress and all the craziness in the world, despite all the reasons a person could be totally anxiety ridden, you guys give me a reason to smile everyday through all of your love and support.  So thank you, from the bottom of my heart.  I love writing this blog and getting to know so many of you and I can’t wait to finish up 2016 and see what next year has in store!  For example, Vault Disquel!  (Don’t tell Carl, he’s trying to talk me out of it.)

While some of you may have been expecting my Princess Mononoke article today, I’ve decided to delay it to next week.  I actually realized we’d hit 800 wordpress followers about a week ago, but hadn’t gotten the chance to say my formal thank you, so as time was slowly devoured by the clock monster, I decided today would be a great day to shower you all with gratitude.  Vault Ghibli will continue next Sunday!

And if you get tired of dealing with the politics of real life, why not take a break with the debut of Chapter One of The Kingdom Homecoming, which kicks off this Tuesday, November 8th!  I’ll try to make it less stressful than the election, though no promises!

Is there anything Disney or otherwise you wish I covered more on the blog?  Let me know in the comments and one more time, with feeling, THANK YOU!!!!
