I have to say, I am in love with Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium. I love the story, I love the music, I love the message...I love it love it love it. If there was a movie I would use as a theme for what I hope my life stands for, that would be it. Every time I watch it, I feel rejuvinated. Living each moment to the fullest, finding joy in the little things, laughing at every opportunity...that's what I want to do when I grow up.
It gave me a lot of cause for reflection, when I realized that somehow, despite my best efforts, I have lost that "sparkle" she talks about. I have always prided myself on the fact that I was especially in touch with my childhood, but somehow I guess life kicked it out of me during the last few years. The real eye-opener came tonight when Zerin was quoting a part from a John Bytheway CD he has been listening to tonight, and I started laughing. His little eyes just lit up, and he said, "I love it when you laugh, Mommy." I wanted to cry inside. If he notices when I laugh, I must not do it enough. I'm not quite sure how to refind my sparkle, but I am sure it has to be around here somewhere. If any of you have seen it, please let me know. I guess I could try EBay...everything else is on there :)
