Your Top Film Picks

  The Oscars are this weekend. While you may not be interested in watching the ceremony itself, this is the perfect opportunity to have some fun with entertainment. You can make an awards list in your journal where the rules are completely your own. Bring back those categories that included your favorite summer blockbuster. Focus on the elements that interest you the most. Devote awards just to acting or effects or fashion.  Add a category for things like best one liner or best on-screen chemistry. How you wish to appreciate this year's films is entirely up to you. Keep to the nominees or make a list of your own. Create a page that glitters and shines like the Hollywood days of old.

I'd Rather Not

 With Thanksgiving next week, thoughts of the big meal are on my mind. Buttery mashed potatoes, crisp green beans and sweet cranberry sauce set my mouth to watering. But what of those not so delicious items that end up on your table. We can all think of a few. As a little stress reliever or bit of fun, take a moment to write out your best excuses to avoid get stuck with a bad taste in your mouth. Then, when Aunt Bessie asks you to try her cheesy brussel sprout and onion casserole with a cinnamon and sugar streusel topping, you have just the right thing to say. "It looks so interesting! Unfortunately, onions don't agree with me these days" instead of grimacing in horror as she lays a big scoopful on your plate. If you're brave enough,  you could even write out the words you would never actually express like, "send that casserole back to hades!". You'll be surprised at how much you have to say!

In Case You Ever Look Back

 Thanksgiving has come and gone. My Christmas decor went up this morning. But, I am going to suggest spending a few more minutes on the November holiday. Make a time capsule page in your journal today about everything that happened yesterday. (even if its only a double shift at your job). One day you may want to look back and realize how many people you helped or how glad you are to be in a new job. Things are always changing and our minds can become fuzzy. Celebrate your day. Add some additional things that are traditionally found in a time capsule as well such as the price of gas and what movies were playing at the theater. Do as much or as little as you desire.

I mumble "Yeah, sort of...I guess." cause I am out doing errands before work. They reply, "I hope you are able to rest soon." in a surprisingly serious tone. Now, this should have been a nice exchange. I could have felt seen or appreciated. I did not . I felt judged and ugly. The person was young and beautiful and I stifled the urge to reply, "When 900 years old you reach, look as good, you will not." I am not yet elderly but in that moment I felt it. The check out person could have been trying to offer support but I think it is more likely that they were just trying talk about something other than the 684 consecutive days of rain we've had lately. I get it. I worked in retail in the before times too which is why I should not have let it get to me. It really doesn't matter if it looked l
