When the sky makes purple

 

What’s your favourite colour?

Mine is purple. Once a year, these fancy amusement-park lights come alive, and, sadly, they signal the final hours of summer.

Every year the CNE comes and goes, I find myself feeling so blessed to be able to move my body enough to enjoy the wonders of the world all around me. 

I have witnessed with my own eyes what it’s like for your body to give up on you.

It has made me realize how often we take the little things in life for granted. Walking around an amusement park, standing in line for a ride, dancing to music, or simply being able to get up and go somewhere might seem like ordinary things. But for some people, these are things they wish, pray for, and beg their bodies to let them do.

We don’t always realize how much of a blessing it is to simply be able to move, explore, laugh, and experience the world around us. Sometimes, the things we consider insignificant are the very things someone else would give anything to experience.
