The internet totally gets me!

So, I open my e-mail this morning and what to my wondering eyes should appear but a miniature horoscope and...well that was it. No ladies and gentlemen, I am not one of those people who hang every whim or decision on what the stars may say for the day. I do however enjoy the fact that every once and awhile a horoscope will hit the nail on the head. And sometimes, just sometimes, it will tell us something we were needing to hear. And even if down deep you think it is total bullshit...it still makes you feel a little bit better. Today was one of those horoscopes that makes you think someone at the ol' horoscope factory knows you personally. Or perhaps there are little horoscope elves watching your every move and taking notes. Hey, that's not a bad theory, maybe that's how they do it. (Note to self: keep eyes open for rogue elves...they are among us.)Anyway, here is what it said:

"Today, Leo, you might get the chance to take a trip around the world to visit fabulous palaces and experience a timeless love, and all - get this - totally free! This could be called a sensitivity test to the universe of Walt Disney. Goodness knows that you aren't a total stranger to it! By now, you've learned from hard experience that Fantasyland is for Mickey Mouse."

Normally I would laugh and delete it. I mean really, how am I gonna travel the world today...do they have any idea how expensive flights are this time of year! What struck me as amusing is all the Disney references. Anyone who knows me is aware that I have worked for the Mouse more times than I would like to admit and let me tell you he is a tough little boss. Little man syndrome all the way. I am not saying that I buy into this, but isn't it kind of funny how an internet horoscope can make you stop and think. All horoscopes are up to interpretation and this one is lining up with some things that have been running through my head as of late. I spent the last year floating about and sort of hoping all the stars would align and life would be perfect. And as we all know that is just plain fairytale. I know fairytale's pretty well, I've been one for children and I've helped to put one up on screen. But, it's time to move out of la-la land and get my hands dirty again.
What's my point you ask? Encouragement comes from unlikely places if you remember to read between the lines.
Or maybe it's the elves...
