Say won't you Say

How come SHE gets a Fairy God-mother!

I had a sweet flashback of my childhood this morning. As I'm sure you have seen, Disney decided to bring back the digitally remastered DVD version of the classic rags to riches story of a young beautiful girl who had big dreams, and with persisting hope finally found her prince and lived happily ever after, Cinderella . I bought it yesterday and as I watched I was reminded of why I am such a girl, because my mother allowed me to watch this movie over and over again as a child, no wonder I turned out to be the hopeless Romantic that I am!

The funny thing is that I still watch this movie with as much bright-eyed wonderment now at 21 as I did at age 5. In the very first full scene of the movie she is waking up from a dream and while chatting with her friends ( the birds and the Mice) she proceeds to sing to them the A Dream is a Wish your heart makes, when your fast asleep, and there is just something so sweet and hopeful to that song that makes my heart flutter a bit. She, Cinderella, had every reason to lose hope, and doubt, and to feel like this was the best her life had for her....but no the Girl had faith that these Dreams of finding her prince and living a life beyond being a servant in her own home and talking with the mice and birds all day, while she couldve been content with this, she knew God had more in store for her; of course we can assume Cinderella was a Christian and had put all of her faith and trust in the Lord, this is what the fairy God-mother was symbolic of. Hahahaaha ok perhaps I have taken this a little too far, but I just have one more thing to add.

At the ball I noticed watching, this time around, that she and the Prince locked eyes, within five minutes had interlocking hands, a couple of more minutes they are dancing in the ballroom alone gazing into each other's eyes, singing So This Is Love to each other and then taking a romatic stroll over the bridge under the moonlight, and are just about to lock lips right as the clock is striking midnight. All of this taking place within the course of less than 15 minutes mind you. How did she know!? I mean they both knew, instantly. And the funny thing was, she didnt even realize he was the Prince until later, but it didnt even matter at that point, she had already fallen for him, and hard. I guess when you know,you really do just know. Oh if only real life was as simple as the fairy tales. ;-)
