re-solution.

 dreamed that i was working on a jigsaw puzzle

happily sorting it out, putting the pieces into place

i love solving puzzles

what a peaceful enterprise

then a section appeared

all white pieces

not sure exactly where to begin with it

 a new challenge

so curious to see how i would solve it

but i woke up too soon.

i looked up dream analysis

about jigsaw puzzles

and the color white

 it made such sense.

solving jigsaws represents

putting the pieces of your life back together,

reorganizing,

perhaps in new ways, after a life change

white represents blank pages, waiting to be written.

what a perfect solution to my retirement puzzle.

Today, the “Happiest Place on Earth” turns 69 years old. After a year of construction and a $17 million investment  (the equivalent of nearly $200 million today), Disneyland welcomed its first visitors, inviting thousands of studio staffers, construction workers, members of the press, and company sponsors to preview the Anaheim, California, park before it opened to the public the following day. At the time, tickets to explore Adventureland, Frontierland, Fantasyland, Tomorrowland, and Main Street USA cost $1 for adults and 50 cents for kids.

American movie producer, artist, and animator Walt Disney (1901 – 1966) at the end of opening day, as he sits on a bench in his Disneyland amusement park, Anaheim, California, USA. 
“To all who come to this happy place: Welcome. Disneyland is your land,” Walt Disney once said.
