The Beam

We are starting to get a little bit of a Disneyland routine going lately. This includes going in or out of the park on the Monorail. The captain's view of the park, otherwise known as the first cart on the Monorail provides the best view thus far.

When we sat in the captain's cabin we were able to hear fun facts about the park such as Disneyland being built around the Monorail. The Monorail is built on a beam and as I learned that fact I started to wonder if Walt Disney was somehow interested in the sport of gymnastics to get such an inspiration.

The good thing about going in the park from the Monorail is that you get to avoid standing in the entrance lines. If you plan on going to California Adventure it is not a good idea to take the Monorail because there is only an exit/entrance for Disneyland or Downtown Disney.

Why is this important, I'm not sure. Maybe I'm not being true to myself when I'm writing about Disneyland.

What I really feel like writing about is the fact that I have a children's book in the process of being published right now and I'm excited about it. It's called, Moon of Mine and it's about a kid having short conversations with the moon. The whole idea being the moon is like a mother to the kid. Our mothers are like a night light, guiding our hearts near or far. The moon is as consistent as the sun as the heart of a mother is for her child.

I suppose M.o.M. fits in with the topic of Disneyland because Disneyland's Main Street is like Main Street U.S.A. which is where I imagine Moon of Mine to take flight, so to speak. I'll try to give you a captain's view of the book (so to speak) to give you an idea of what it's like. I really hope you like it. My heart is now beaming. Good night.

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.

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.
