Tuesday 4~When You Wish Upon A Star

 When You Wish Upon a Star....

Welcome to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4.
We ask 4 questions each week to get you blogging and visiting other bloggers.


1. Jiminy Cricket sang "When you Wish Upon a Star" in the movie Pinocchio.
What are your favorite Disney movies?
My favorite Disney movie when I was a child was "Lady and the Tramp". 

I remember seeing it when I must've been about 4 or 5 years old. And then I wanted a "Lady" dog all my own. I saw a rubber "Lady" dog toy somewhere at a store, and I "begged" my parents to buy it for me.  Lo! And Behold! I received it either for my birthday or Christmas that year! I loved that little rubber doggy, and I think I even slept with it.  Years later I found it in our parents' attic, and it was cracked from the heat of being in a hot attic all those years, and it didn't look so good anymore, so I guess it went 'bye-bye".  But I'll never forget it!  Here's the original trailer from the original movie:

I also loved Snow White, Cinderella, Pinnochio, and Sleeping Beauty. That's all I can remember right now. 

2. Are there any Disney songs that you are fond of or have special feelings about?

"When You Wish Upon a Star" is the only one I can think of right now.  I am not a huge Disney fan anymore and haven't seen any recent Disney movies since we don't have any little people in our family to want to see them.  And our only grandson, who is now 27 years old, never wanted to go to Disney when they came to Florida to visit us. He never was into that craze or phase, which is fine with me because it's just way too expensive.  Instead we took him to Seaworld and Busch Gardens and Silver Springs. He enjoyed the more realistic and natural kinds of "theme parks", and this is my preference too. Here in Florida there is so much more natural beauty to see and enjoy. I'm just not into the "fake stuff".  

3. You can actually have a star named after yourself or a friend and they will register the name and send you a certificate. Is this something you would do as a gift for someone? No. That's not something I would have ever thought of.


4. Have you ever wished on a star even just for fun or on a romantic impulse??

I probably have in my childhood...or I made a wish when I blew out my candles on my birthday cake. 

I was just thinking about the song by Perry Como, "Catch a Falling Star and put it in your pocket, save it for a rainy day..."

I shared these photos last week of the falling leaves on my pathway..and that's what made me think about that song...I haven't heard that song in many many years, but I do remember watching the Perry Como show on TV when I was a kid, and this was the song I remembered most.

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket Never let it fade away Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket Save it for a rainy day For love may come and tap you on the shoulder some starless night Just in case you feel you wanna hold her You'll have a pocketful of starlight Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket Never let it fade away Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket Save it for a rainy day For love may come and tap you on the shoulder some starless night Just in case you feel you wanna hold her You'll have a pocketful of starlight (Pocketful of starlight, hm, hm, hm, hm, hm, hm) Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket Never let it fade away Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket Save it for a rainy day (Save it for a rainy, save it for a rainy, rainy, rainy day) For when your troubles start multiplying and they just might It's easy to forget them without trying With just a pocketful of starlight Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket Never let it fade away Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket Save it for a rainy day (Save it for a rainy day) Save it for a rainy day

Here's a better idea...

Psalm 119:105 KJV

105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

Psalm 16:11 NKJV

11 You will show me the path of life;

In Your presence is fullness of joy;

At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

Okay, that's all for today! Have a happy day filled with "God's" light!

One last note, for those of you who have been wondering about the results of my recent CT Scan...I went to the Dr. yesterday. The results were negative for any recent sign of a stroke. HOWEVER, apparently there showed that I had had a stroke more than 6 months ago!!!! WHAT???? WHEN??? Appparently just a small one, but enough to show up! The only thing I can think of is when I had that episode over a year ago and went to the hospital thinking I was having a heart attack, but instead they discovered I had pneumonia. However, my BP was VERY high when I got to the emergency room that day, which is something quite unusual for me. I don't recall that they ever did a CT Scan then of my brain. They were mostly checking for a heart attack...so, that is the only time I can think of that it might have occured. VERY STRANGE that it showed up on this scan. Therefore...I am now taking baby aspirin every day, and of course my cholesterol medicines, which I don't like to take, but I guess I need to.  Thank you for your prayers and concern.  From now on, if I have something strange happening, no matter how insignificant I may think it is, I am going to the hospital to get it checked out. I am VERY thankful to know that whenever that did occur, God was with me, and He kept it from going any further. I am very very thankful to the Lord for His protection even when I didn't know I really was needing it! Amen!! Praise The Lord!!!
