I watched "You've Got Mail" tonight and it made me wish for something whimsical and magical to happen.
So much of day-to-day life is chaotic and though we plan days of fun, it's almost too much pressure. Make sure you fit all the fun into your day trip or your week of vacation because come Monday, it'll be back to groceries, cooking, cleaning, and a job you don't exactly jump up-and-down for.
Yes, I feel the need to express my regret for my last statement by telling you all I am grateful to have a job and I know many others have it worse, but why should I apologize for wanting more - for wanting to live everyday doing something I truly enjoy?
Life slowed down in this movie... just two people doing what they love and falling in love. It's just nice to stop for a moment and daydream.
It's not often that I watch a girlie movie these days. I rarely have a moment to myself and when with the hubby, we compromise. If he was to watch a romantic comedy with me though, it would mean I'd have to watch a horror movie in return and that is a no-go! So, we stick to the action/drama and all is good.
My point is that in watching this simple and beautiful movie, I've realized I've somehow forgotten what giddy love feels like. And not just that, but basking in that brisk autumn air or taking a walk in fresh fallen snow... letting the summer sun warm my skin without wondering what I'll make for dinner.
I am so in-love with my husband and he does romance me, but I guess I'm just so caught up in the next thing I need to get done that I don't stop and give enough appreciative thought to the kiss, or the breakfast he made for me... even just the genuineness in his voice when he tells me he loves me. I can blame it on the work day and trying to be that typical woman who feels she should accomplish it all, but really... there is no good excuse. I just need to make time slow down and breath in the little things.
Here's to giving it a good shot... and to watching more inspirational romantic comedies!
