April 17, 2015

This morning I looked out the window to find a sun dappled world waiting to be discovered. At first I was just enjoying the way the dew glittered in the soft green grass, but the world just looked so inviting that I begged MyLittleMegara to take me out there. I suppose I must have taken Olaf's ideas about exploring to heart! Once she did, however, I started to have second thoughts. The world around me was so big and wonderful and terrifying. I was just Anna... how was I supposed to fit in such a large and important place?


Gradually, I started to look around.




There were big, leafy trees around me. casting shadows and filtering in soft light.

I took a breath and stepped out onto the grass. It was so green!


I could feel my courage mounting as I walked forward.


Everything around me was new- but it wasn't scary or bad. It was amazing. For the first time in my life, I felt like I could do anything.


Confidence and courage flowed through me as I stood there in the morning light.


With that glorious feeling, the sun became brighter and the dew sparkled more intensely.



A beam of sunlight fell across my face, temporarily blinding me. But how could I be blind when I was truly seeing for the first time?


Even the flowers seemed to stand taller, as though my joy was radiating onto them.



It was the most amazing feeling. 


Of course, even the best things have to end. My plastic heart began to sink as I headed back to the house. The overwhelming joy began to slowly drain out of me.


But, as I walked, the sun seemed to wink at me again. A flicker of sunlight stayed with me and with it, a little of the confidence and happiness my adventure had given me.
