Life in Seattle: Day 2

Space Needle, standing at 605ft tall

 After all the hard work of getting here, we decided to just hit downtown and do whatever felt right, whatever called us. We ended up eating in the top of the Space Needle. It's absolutely gorgeous. You sit in the very top of the needle, and the restaurant slowly rotates so that you get a complete 360 view of the Puget Sound and downtown. It was raining and the sky was gray and just perfect for viewing.

Later we went scouting through bits of downtown, just looking around. We found some awesome shops and just enjoyed being there.

Tomorrow marks my orientation day at Seattle Children's Theatre. So excited for the adventures, stories, memories, people, art, and possibilities that it brings. Just think-- more than two years ago this theatre became my dream theatre to work for/with/ do anything with. One year ago I visited Seattle and the theatre for the first time, and it only confirmed those dreams more. And tomorrow? Well, I will walk into those buildings as a future part of that theatre, however big or small my role may be.

All I can really do is stand in awe of that. So my only thought for today is:
1. When you dream, dream big.
And then when that dream seems less impossible, dream bigger. Shoot for the moon, but not because if you miss you'll "land among the stars." Shoot for the moon because once you make it there, you can shoot for places no one even knows about yet.

Our view from the table

 You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the guy who’ll decide where to go.
And when things start to happen, don’t worry. Don’t stew. Just go right along. You’ll start happening too.
-Dr. Seuss
