The simple things bring a smile to my face...
I enjoy the movies! Watching on Netflix and attending in the theatre. I realize that some may think it's a waste of time but it's nice to have something to laugh or cry with and relate to. Movies can take you places you've never been before. See sights that you've never seen before and help you dream of the places that you will eventually travel to! Goodness, I watched 'Under the Tuscan Sun' when it came out and then started planning my trip to Sicily and Italy. One of the best trips I've ever been on!
If you don't have time to read the book, watch the movie. If you have a cause that you support or deeply believe in, watch the documentary and share it with others. Want to have a more in depth view of what's going on in other places of the world, watch a foreign film. I enjoy them all!
I'm writing this as I'm watching the Oscars tonight. I enjoy seeing everyone dressed up and celebrating. I did my own celebrating this evening by having a glass of Pink Champagne and some artisan pizza. Simple, but nice. Last weekend I went to Old Town Fort Collins at the Lyric Cinema and watched the Oscar Shorts films that were nominated. They were great! Today I went back to the Lyric and watched 'The Artist'. Excellent movie! I always enjoy a vanilla bubble tea while there. It's a must to try at least once if you've never had one. The Lyric is a unique viewing experience in and of itself with couches and old movie seats. They have wine and cheese plates, various baked goods, teas, etc.
So, why wait to celebrate a special occasion while you can create one yourself? Life is what you make it! If a movie can move you or touch your heart, then watch it. If watching the Oscars, sipping Pink Champagne brings a smile to your face, then do it.
Much Love,
Robin
