Happy Feet...

Parsley has finally told me her story after all the chasing her around the house... Although, she did look cute popping up here and there and running across the couch.  She had been trying to show me her 'happy feet'.

Are you familiar with the movie Happy Feet with the little penguin that needed to learn his own rhythm and way to express himself.  He saved his family by teaching them how to dance which was something totally foreign to them. Their voices couldn't save them, but when they all danced together the strangeness was over-powering enough to get the attention of those that were trying to endanger the waddle (that's what you call a group of penguins on land).  He saved his family and the colony by being different.

So how does this movie apply to Parsley?  I know she made me smile as she was running around the room and she certainly captured my attention.  She reminded me when I used to play under the lilac bushes by my house with the fairies and giving them mud pies as treats.  That was Parsley's story to me, to remind me about the child within.  

​How fun it was to run carefree and let the wind blow through my hair or squishing mud between my toes (which to be honest, I still squish mud...).  After all, isn't this the main purpose of a fairy - to awaken the child within us?  The child within holds our dreams, wishes, and our laughter and beliefs that we carry with us into adulthood.  Don't lock them away... let them run free and be 'happy feet'.

Now that she has shown me her 'happy feet' she is willing to reveal herself to me.  Which is good because I am a little out-of-shape for all the chasing after her.  But, like any good exercise the more I practice the better I will get... even if it is only a little skip to begin with.
