Please bare with my lack of creativity for a moment as I share a thought. Hospitality seems to be a dieing trait. Giving others the benefit of the doubt. Making them feel welcome. Sacrificing our own pride, our need to feel more knowledgeable or superior then others. Allowing others to feel comfortable. responding with grace. I enjoy humor and friendly banter however, criticism, sarcasms, cynical comments are best saved for our closest friends. Take that extra second before hitting "submit" and ask, "Is my comment REALLY helping? Is it encouraging, is it nice?" Forgive me if I have been less then hospitable. It is an art. I appreciate good art. I appreciate you.

Great post! I agree. This is our happy place! - JenInWonderland 1025.1 #86 9:41AM

Disney CM's do such a wonderful job everyday for park guests to experience the wonder and magic. So many of them seem to exude with the Spirit of Disney, which for them is a way of life, not just 9 to 5. Thank you Baloo for helping to make it so very magical for all of us. You are GREATLY appreciated! - BeanzMom 1.9 #37901 2:09AM

Thanks Baloo. We all need to hear these words and make that attempt to live by them here on MW - unclebeezy 230.0 #1240 3:39AM
