Tomorrow I leave for a mini vacation. Not that I'm placing much pressure on this vacation, but I hope it will fix everything. You know how when you screw on a jar lid and you don't align the threads? It goes on, but not quite right. That's how I have felt since the accident. Things haven't been quite right. I get all my tasks done but I don't really concentrate and I'm not filled with joy. My knee is not entirely healed (my apologies to AC for even voicing a complaint about that) and then I got a cold and then an eye infection. An eye infection! Where did that come from?! Here's the good thing...my vacation is essentially joy rehab - Walt Disney World. I will be spending 3 days getting sprinkled with Pixie Dust, enjoying fireworks, gingerbread, and the magic of Christmas all at the Happiest Place on Earth. I can't wait. The castle has new icicle decorations this year. How can I not get my joy back? Here is a video of the castle lighting.
While we are at WDW, we will be attending Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. That should be a hoot. It is a special ticketed event with parades, cookies and hot chocolate, snow on Main Street, etc. The one thing that I don't think will happen this visit because of the holiday fireworks is the Wishes fireworks. Wishes fireworks are my favorite. They are choreographed and narrated and tell the story of wishes and hearts' desires. Of course they always make me feel very grateful and there is a part towards the end that makes me cry, on cue, every time. I even have the CD of the show and I cried at home at the "right" spot. Also, at the finale I am usually overwhelmed by the fireworks and the tears stream. You probably won't want to watch the whole video, but this is a way for me to have it now. Even in my not quite right state watching this video made me tear up, so maybe I'm on the mend.
