Afraid of the Dark

I’ve always been afraid of the dark. Honestly, I’m the world’s biggest chicken when it comes to silly things like this. So it was to my initial disappointment when my son decided to turn off all the lights in the house one Sunday night. He decided that it was time for the bad guys to put him in the dungeon, and it had to be dark to do it! Clearly, my husband and I couldn’t refuse.

There I sat in the pitch black thinking my son has many characteristics that come from my husband. He is high energy, communication galore and sharp. He is part curious, part sure of himself, part defining himself – he is my little man. My son races into the room, and leaves me wondering how does he know how to get around this house so well at night? “Mommy, they put us in the dungeon.” “Yes I know, sweetie.” Right then daddy starts to sneaks in, bounces back surprised, and laughs “Did somebody order a pizza?!” To which my son earnestly answers, “Yes we did.”

After my third trip putting my son down for the night, I lazily think about the incredible nature of imagination. How fun to suspend reality and turn your world into exactly what you want. It is something that I would like to do more of more often. Not suspend reality, as I’m quite content right where I’m at, but to envision your world exactly as you would like it to be: to genuinely look at life with all its future possibilities. Think of it as the power of positive thinking, the power of imagination or living in fantasy, but think of it. There is much in this life to be thankful for and there is much to enjoy!
