Bedknobs and Broomsticks in a Snowstorm


One of my Christmas gifts this year was a generous Barnes and Noble gift card from Dad. I used it to buy "Some Like It Hot", "A Night at the Opera" and "Bedknobs and Broomsticks". While I work on polishing my thesis (a nonfiction book of essays) before it officially enters the committee process tomorrow, I thought I could use some of the happy feelings that always come with a viewing of this live-action Disney classic.

The soundtrack alone is enough to fill you with joy and take you back to the purity of childhood

This movie gets me in the emotional core, which is exactly where I need to be to finish this book. It's a movie all about "the age of not believing", the power of imagination,  goodness, and child-like joy. I hope that's what I can say my book will be about too. May the song inspire you as much as it inspires me. Enjoy the snowstorm and keep chugging away on whatever project you've got going...after all, it's a step in the right direction.
