HAPPY MARCH 1ST!!!!
But that's not all I have to say.....I need to get something off my chest that has been bothering me for the past month or so now.....
Now I know some of you are going to read this and think I am crazy and nuts but I am speaking from the heart here. And the heart wants what the heart wants.....and the heart wants Disneyland!!!!
I know, I know silly right? But I really miss Disneyland. Like a whole lot! I miss everything about it. I miss the young and exciting feeling that I would get when I would walk through the gates. I miss the rush of people trying to see everything before the day is over. I miss the hugs of a dirty character. hahaha The waiting in long lines talking with friends and/or family. I just miss everything.
Disneyland is my second home and I never realized that until I moved. I grew up with Disneyland being right around the corner. I had a pass most of my life until I started working there. For 24 years Disneyland has always been there for me in some way or another and I never really appreciated it.
I even miss working there. The great benefits. The being able to go into Disneyland whenever I wanted. The knowing the ins and outs of up coming evens or movies. Free movies tickets! Free stuff! All the great people that I have met there. My former co-workers and leads, who some of them I am still lucky enough to talk to. Awww.....I miss fun Disney times!
And its so sad because my little nephew,Thayne, is always watching Disney movies. Because his mother,who is my sister and she grow up and worked with Disney, is raising Thayne to do the same. So we will be sitting there watching a cute Disney movie like Peter Pan and I'll think of the ride and how it is one of my favorites. And I'll feel that pain in my chest were I kinda want to cry and if Disney was still alive I would seek him out just to hug him!
I guess at heart I will always be a Disneyland lifer. Some looked at that as being a bad thing, but now I wish I had it.
It's true what they say....You don't know what you have until it's gone. And that is ringing loud and true in my ears.
"Absents makes the heart grow fonder." It's so true!
Til we meet again Disneyland,
