The Lumineers - "Stubborn Love" (Official Video)

Happiest Place on Earth Seed

Why is Disneyland known as the happiest place on Earth? Is it a place that makes people feel happy? Would you think going to spend a day in Anaheim, California would make a person happy? Is it because there are always people there that lessens feelings of loneliness we experience as human beings? Is it because there is constant entertainment and interaction? Or is it because the tone is set when we go to Disneyland... we get happy knowing we are going to spend time at "the happiest place on Earth"?

I recently read an article about how senior citizens and babies need a bigger circle of people health wise. So as our babies grow and our parents grow we are the ones who help sustain those connections. Of course we can find our own Disneyland type destinations online but there is something about feeling safe around real human beings. Disneyland is magical and happy because people go there believing great things can happen.

My Kind of Love - Harriet Jane (Emeli Sande Cover)

Good Company

Walter Disney quite created a small world of his own. When he shared his ideas other people became inspired and are still inspired to this day. Why is a mouse depicted as his companion? Walt Disney inspired because he was inspired. Why was he inspired by hanging out with a mouse?
I've changed my mind about a lot of things. Things I thought to be honorable before I have learned differently and appreciate new perspective with the old. I suppose spending time with a mouse provides humble perspective as it gives ample time for solitude.
That's sort of the way it is at Disneyland. Even though everyone is together, everyone is in their own world. We share moments of perspective with one another and we appreciate the good. The smiles, the kind words, familiar faces and welcoming places make us happy.
