~:[CH5 - Day 349]:~ Reflecting in the Rain

It was the post-banquet high. The feeling of being done and the weight being lifted off your shoulders is quite the incredible feeling and while you know that a crash is inevitable, I was enjoying the moment while I could. After surviving the day full of errands, a reward pizza party and a successful dance practice with my PE class, I completed some work before heading to Disneyland. I was a little sad as the rain came pouring down, however, in the end, it was the best thing that could have happened. Droves of people left the park and the park slowly became a very tranquil place, something not often associated with Disneyland, especially during holiday time. As the empty park meant short lines and enough rides in a few hours that often takes a f ew days, it was easy to cruise through the park and enjoy all the holiday decorations throughout the park. It was even more incredible to see the reflections that shimmered on the ground because of the rain that fell overhead. Simply incredible! Words could not describe my enjoyment of the day and in the end, I sat with a friend drinking tea and just watching the rain fall and the people walk by. It almost seemed like slow motion, but despite the rain, I couldn't have asked for a better night. I even got to run into the birthday girl, Jamie! Happy Birthday! As the rain began to come down harder, it was nice to have a little bit of time to reflect before I headed to bed and much like the glimmer of the lights on the wet surface of the ground throughout Disneyland, I couldn't help but think, today was truly amazing. As I looked in the mirror when I got home, the glimmer from the ground, was the same glimmer I saw in my eye, which told me that there aren't many days that are as great as this and for that I am thankful, as despite the rain with the fun night after weeks of stress, deadlines, and fatigue, I truly found the happiest place on earth.
