Movie Night

In a bid for some much needed time-out, I watched 2 films tonight.

(I didn't know they made a movie of one of my favorite childhood books - Ramona!)

I didn't fancy Eat, Pray, Love too much.  I liked Beezus and Ramona much better!  But I did pick up something, that I probably need to learn the italian art of doing nothing, dolce fa niente.  We might gasp at that, given our need-to-be-effective-efficient-productive-result-oriented-in-control (I feel like I just summed myself up), but I think we all need that sometimes.  

Take some time out, and just be still.

Running the impossible race

The cover of this DVD caught my eye some time back when I was at Video Ezy.

So I rented it tonight as a movie treat.

I'm inspired by Penny Chenery's passion, one woman with the courage and determination to challenge the impossible dream. Secretariat was an exceptional horse whose records set remain till today. But I marvel more at his owner who challenged her way from a regular housewife of the 1960s to a woman who believed and left a legacy.
