Day 8 - Frozen

Heather came to live with me in Arizona when I was pregnant with my second son. My oldest was about 3 years old at that time and loved Disney movies (and Barney too of course). We didn’t have multiple TV’s in our house at that time so when we were all home, a lot of the times we would have Disney movies playing for him and we would sit there while he was watching them and watch some and chat a bit. Obviously, when you watch or hear Disney movies time and time again being played you quickly learn the songs. So, we would find ourselves singing along with the music and even sometimes dancing around with him.

Shortly after my second son was born, we took a vacation to Disneyland. It was me and Heather, my kids, a few of my nieces and nephews, and my mother. We had such a great time. I had never been to Disney and although Heather had been to Disneyworld in Florida, she had never been to the one in California. We went to other places as well during that visit to California, but today I’m thinking of Disney. I am so glad I got to experience my first trip there with her at my side.

Heather was unable to see the Disney movie Frozen, as it was released in 2013. I’m sure she would have loved this movie. I can remember back to her and I singing away to the Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, etc. and can totally imagine her singing these lovable (Frozen) songs to her children (especially her daughter).

 So, today’s intention is to take a time out and enjoy this Disney sensation. As I watched, I sang along with the songs I knew and found myself smiling away watching Anna (she’s my favorite), Olaf, and Elsa. My 15 year old son even watched for a bit, had some laughs and enjoyed some of the movie (he didn’t stay long, but I’ll take it!).  

 This had started out a bit of a hectic day for me as I not only had plans with a friend that took me away from the house for a couple of hours, I also had furniture pieces that I have a deadline on as they are already sold and I had to complete them today. However, this was an enjoyable addition to my day in her memory and I am finding myself again blessed to be on this journey.
