Escape to "Evening"

There's few times in life where I am so fully moved by pictures, films, books. The last time a movie really struck me was, silly as it is, the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. I must have grown up a lot in the past two-plus years, because I was equally moved by a movie featuring a woman on her deathbed.

I saw the movie "Evening" on Friday afternoon. Now it is Monday, and I have not stopped thinking about it since. It was beautiful, set in Newport, New England at a beach mansion. It is a wedding, and the bride's best friend is the protagonist. The setting is gorgeous, the relationships REALISTIC, and the emotions so true to form that I bawled through nearly the whole thing. It was not sad, not really romantic, not really inspiring. Really just Beautiful.

If you are a woman and you know me, if we are like-minded, PLEASE see this movie. I promise it will enrich your experiences and life and help you see people a little differently.

Do you remember.....

The last time you fell down?




I know my little entries are very commonplace and boring, mainly because I don't want you to know personal stuff. If my autobiography ever comes out, it will NOT be published on the internet.

But I took a spill yesterday. I had my amazing, tall shoes on and I slipped off a curb and scraped my leg on the curb and the asphalt. Because I am high off the ground, due to my excessive height, it took me awhile to completely tumble, and I have three large areas of injury. As an adult, however, I did not allow myself the luxury of crying.

But it did make me think, and feel thankful that falling over is a rarity as an adult. So when did you last fall?
