I gotta admit tonight I am pretty wiped and not sure what to write about. I’ve shared some pretty personal things recently and I’m not really interested in going that deep tonight.
We watched the original Mary Poppins with Lou tonight. Well as much of it as we could before bath and bed. It was fun to watch it as an adult. So many things I would not have picked up on as a child. The intricacies and complications of adulthood, parenting, and a solid amount of sexism. Still though it’s such a sweet endearing movie.
Lou would laugh and clap and dance. He’s an old fashioned little man already. He love musicals and dancing. Julie Andrews. The classics.
I haven’t watched that movie in probably 30 years. It’s wonderful to find something that can still be magical all those years later. I hope Lou has things like that that he can rewatch as and adult and still appreciate. Still feel young at heart.
Magic can live on in so many things and so many ways. It’s important to live in that magical spirit as much as we can. To be playful. To sing and dance. To wonder and marvel and believe in the impossible. In miracles. There’s enough bad stuff in the world right now. I’d rather spend my time seeing the twinkle in my son’s eyes. It helps the medicine go down for sure.
Thanks for reading my friends. Go find some magic.
