reality bites

It's been quiet on the blog these past few days and I'm truly sorry, but I've been feeling a lot like Winona Ryder's character in Reality Bites and right now my reality certainly does bite.


I thought "I'd like to make a difference in people's lives"...


and that "I was really going to be somebody by the time I was 23"...


instead I feel like I'm "in the bell jar"...


and that I've reached "the winter of our discontent".


Now, I'm thinking that "There's no point to any of this. It's all just a... a random lottery of meaningless tragedy and a series of near escapes."


But, in all honesty, deep down I know that all hope is not loss because I'm trying to "take pleasure in the details". I may not have a gas card, but I'd like to believe that I still have some ingenuity. Somewhere. Maybe.

I saw Midnight in Paris last night and what an absolute lovely and whimsical film it was. I'm longing to walk the streets of Paris now...with my lover, at midnight, maybe even in the rain because I do believe it's good for the soul (#27 on 'the list').

Thanks Woody! It's a film like this that makes me want to continue on this journey because "only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go."

happy monday!

Sitting on the ground in the parking lot of Wrigley Field with my husband and a couple of friends, the warm summer air dancing on my skin, listening to Paul McCartney makes me happy!


Because...."all you need is love, love, love is all you need." It was very good for my heart. And it was magic I tell you, magic!
