When Harry Met Sally

The movie "When Mary Met Sally" is about two people who started out as friends and once they consumate the relationship realize it to be a mistake, but in the end as it turns out it's not a mistake and they end up with each other.  I personally like happy endings.  I am a real ham for a love story that has some bad times in it but then the people end up together and in love.  It is that Cinderella story that is played out in different ways where the shoe or the person fits perfectly after all.  Once the male character sees clearly that he loves her h runs to her.  She is at a New Year's eve party and purposely starts to leave before midnight when he walks in.  He blurts out "I love you".  Then he recites the reasons he loves her like: "you're the last peron I want to talk to at night".  She responds with: "You make it impossible for me to hate you" and then they kiss and it is all lovely and good.  What started out as friendship ends in a deep loving connection.

This movie is classic.  It is a cult classic.  Everyone loves it and few have not seen it at least two times.  I have seen it several times and each time it is exciting.  To see that kind of genuine like and then love is amaziing to me.  It is what love stories are about and I cannot help but believe that there are many more to come.  There will be love  stories that at the very least I will witness and be gloriously jealous and happy about.  In fact I am invited by a friend to attend a wedding.  I will dress in my very best and likely wear the new bow tie I have been anxiosu to wear.  I will once again witness the bliss of people who feel like they love each other so much as to celebrate it publicly.

Love is a glorious thing.  I want to believe that always even if there were times when it hurt and still hurts.  Love is glorious no matter how it begins and ends.  It is still an unusual fantasy in life.  We fall in love or we fall into what looks like love and many times we fall out of love or at least some of us do.  I never feel like I do but I do my best to disengage from it so that my heart and my soul can live through the loss of it.  Some of us can walk out of love like we walk off a plank into a pool or a body of water.  For some it is a bit easier than for others.  For me it's never been easy.

Seeing this movie again reminded me that we can love again and that the pain subsides.  That we can start with one type of love and end in another more profound kind of love.  It inspires me because it tells me everything and anything is possible.  As I ponder to go see a love story this evening that is showing at a local theater I give myself the room to grieve love and then invite it back in.  Just like Harry and Sally.

A Seasoned Vs Old Person

Those of you who know me personally might be aware that I don't use the word "old".  I don't think that people should be referred to with a word like old and I believe that as we live longer lives we are wiser and that we can be looked upon as "seasoned".  For me the word seasoned means that we have lived a good life and that we have gone from one season to another experiencing life and the many ups and downs of it.  I don't see the word old as one that honors any human being for their acquisition of wisdom and the things they have been able to overcome.  I for one consider myself a seasoned man not an "old man". There are so many meanings to the word old but the one that I am not in agreement with is the connotation that older is less than and younger is more important.  Unfortunately we live in a world where youth is celebrated and seasoned people are looked down on.  The thought is that younger people are more attractive or that they are m...

Your Skirt Is Over Your Head

I am uncertain as to how many of my readers know what I mean about putting your skirt over your head.  All I know is that my sister once said it and I think I heard it in a movie once.  I do know that in the movie "Mermaids" Cher who played the mom had some great lines about being a woman and just having a good time with life.  In one of those what should be famous lines Cher's daughter played by Winnona Ryder says: "Don't you think yoiiu are too old for that dress?"to which Cher responds with: "Don't be silly Charlotte, a woman is never too old".  In another part there is a stunning young man waiting on their porch to welcome them to the country area where they moved and upon setting eyes on him Winnona Ryder who is Charlotte is mezmerized by him.  Cher suddenly turns around and says: "too bad your hell bent on becoming a nun".  To say that Cher truly pulls the dress over her head is really minimizing her role in this movie that I wo...

Visualize It, Manifest It.

Let me just excuse myself from the non-believers as I know you are out there and the mere idea of believing and then achieving seems silly.  If you are one of these people, you should stop reading now and simply not waste any time because if you don't believe in yourself then you will not understand how manifestation works.  This blog is not just about believing and then getting what you believe in but more importantly how to go from the thought of being your highest self to actually being your highest self. And so if you believe, even a little, keep going because this is about having what you want in life ether spiritually, emotionally or physically.  Here are some ways to get there: Setting Your Intention: The very first thing to do when you want to manifest something (joy, money, relationship) is to set your intention.  You can set your intention by speaking of what you want in a way that feels intentional. An intention can sound like this: My intention is ...
