Life is about change

I watched the most delightful movie tonight, The Best Marigold Hotel, and I moved from an unaccustomed bad place back into the good place I generally live in anymore.

I have lost 75 pounds and a great deal of extraneous baggage over the past two years and this movie just brought it all into focus.  “All will be well in the end and if all is not well, then it isn’t the end yet!”  And, “Sometimes what we are most afraid of is not that things will not change but that they will.  Life is about change.”  Neither one of these sentences is an exact quote, but the gist is here.

I blew my diet watching this movie, not because of the movie, but because of the feelings that preceded it.  Normally that would send me into a real funk, but not tonight.  Tonight I feel so good!

I put the movie on pause, jumped in my car and made a quick trip to the third world Kroger where I bought two boxes of the most decadent, perfect, delicious, outrageous ice cream bars they make.  Then I came home and ate one box while I finished the movie.

I’ll share the other box with my daughter and my sister tomorrow after lunch.  Then on Monday night I will pack my car and set off on my first real adventure in several years!  It has been a long time coming, but so worth the wait.

If you do not hear from me much next week please do not be concerned.  Know that I am out gathering thots and getting ready for whatever’s coming next.
