Okay, so we decided it was time to go to Disneyland. Again.
Gah! Okay, yes, it is the happiest place on Earth, and I do really enjoy it, but going there every weekend for the past, I don’t know, say four months, makes it quite boring. That’s enough of that though, I don’t want border on negative again.
We started out plainly enough, with a nice, long drive. Toward the end, I felt quite accomplished: I drove the whole way without a stop. Yes! California Adventure was our first stop, and as always, there was still just one thing I wanted to see. Golden Dreams is such an inspiration show and I highly recommend it!
During another swing around a giant orange (or was it a peach?) I had had an epiphany. Actually, I’m not really sure it deserves such a title, but it was pretty swell. You see, I was wearing sandals (quite liberating actually) and in order to swing, I had to take them off so as to not smack some unfortunate guest on the head. Feeling the wind whip through my toes and flip my favorite jeans around (my whole favorite outfit actually) was just something I knew right away that I’d want to share with you. I don’t really know what was so great about that swing, but it’s just something I’d like to remember.
Have you ever seen something that you couldn’t help from smiling upon the sight of it? Have you ever seen the face of a child just light up with pure, innocent joy? I don’t really remember myself doing anything of the like, but just like a small kid I saw in Disneyland, I too once smiled at Mickey. It was so nice to see that someone, no matter how old, or mature, could be happy with something so small, and so simple.
Why can’t I enjoy those things too? Perhaps I’ve just lost my child…
