More Random Thoughts and Tears

I took my daughters to AK today for FOLK. I haven't seen it in almost 2 years (I know, sad story!). I cried. I mean, sobbed, ugly cry cried. I think the camp counselor wanted to ask me if I was OK. What did me in was:
"It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding"

I feel like my path is finally unwinding, even for a little while, and it amazes me every day that I get to be a very small part of that kind of magic.

While I was out collecting vouchers from the games, I got to help make some magic for a few of our smaller guests who sometimes struggle with the games. I've noticed that some of the other games people aren't quite as pixie-dusted as I am, so I tend to run a quick Mom/Son game while I'm unlocking the vouchers. Hey, it's 2 players to start the game, right???

The other thing I'm enjoying about games money room is that there is some freedom and I guess I project a sense of responsibility/leadership/whatever you want to call it, because I get a LOT of guest interaction while I'm out "harvesting" the vouchers. I answer LOTS of questions and can really spend some time giving guests good suggestions, directions, etc because I'm not caught up in completing the sale or loading the rides or stocking the carts. Yes, I have work to do, but it's nothing that is going to keep guests waiting. I've even had a couple thank me for taking the time to talk to them and that makes me smile.

Have I mentioned lately that I love my "job"?

Oh, and yesterday morning, Meeko was coming offstage just as I was heading into work and he ran and grabbed a trash can and tried to take it with him. It was LOL funny.
