This past weekend we did our typical at-home date night when Colin went to bed -- we watched a movie from our Net Flix's subscription. In general, we watch movies from years past as though they were the latest and greatest. released in 2006? Sounds new to me!
I was so pleasantly surprised by this movie -- a real "feel-good"movie. This was surprising because the lead character was Queen Latifah. She's definitely come a long way in her roles as an actress. The movie, Last Holiday, is about a shy, quiet woman named Georgia with a secret passion for cooking and for her co-worker, Sean. After hitting her head and suffering a concussion, Georgia has a cat-scan that reveals several brain tumors. With less than a month to live, Georgia takes all the money she has and treats herself to the European vacation of a lifetime. She flies first class, stays in the Presidential suite, eats the finest food, and lives life to the fullest (which includes ski boarding lessons, base jumping, etc.)
The actress spent her whole life putting ideas into a book called, "Possibilities," and now that she thinks she is about to die, she decides to actually do things from her book. This really made me think about lifetime priorities and goals -- what things do I want to do some day that are in my mental book of possibilities, and what am I doing to make those things happen someday?
Do you have a book of possibilities?
