I’ve been a bit under the weather since yesterday. What started out feeling like severe allergies, has turned into more like a touch of the flu. Blah!! I have been itching to write but I feel too crappy to focus on the text on the computer screen. I ended up watching a little TV and sleeping most of the day. It’s almost 2:30 a.m. now, so it’s time to get some rest. Goodnight!

Sad Movies

I’m a cry baby. Yes, it’s true. I don’t know what happened, but over the past year I’ve become quite the emotional wreck when it comes to sad movies. It wasn’t always like this for me, but I think I’ve begun to put myself in the position of the movie characters and therefore it tugs at my heart much harder. When I was little, I used to bury my face in a pillow when I watched a really sad movie, haha. The memory makes me laugh. Now, I tear up so much that the pillow wouldn’t even help.

Oh well, at least these sad movies typically inspire me to write something.

Secret Millionaire

     Imagine yourself as a millionaire. Where would you live? What would you own? Who would you know? Such a state of financial success is hard to envision as a reality, and much harder to achieve. You might get lucky and inherit a large sum of money, but most millionaires have to make extensive efforts and sacrifices, paired with a series of right decisions, before they ever come near to this level of prosperity. 

     Once you live the rich life, would you ever want to go back? What if you had to live on the streets and leave your riches behind? 

     This new series from Fox is thought-provoking and touching in so many ways. The compassion manifested gets to me every time. If you don’t have cable, catch up online at www.hulu.com.
