The King's Speech

We went to see "The King's Speech" tonight. I was extremely impressed with the performances of the three main characters in this movie - Colin Firth, Helena Bonham-Carter, and Geoffrey Rush - and although I was always a huge fan of Firth, he has now moved to the top of my list!!

What a wonderful mood-boosting movie! I'd give it a 5 out of 5 on the feel good meter! Definitely a must-see!

Until next time .......

Sunny Days Ahead .....


I feel wonderful today – healthy, happy, & content ......

I am at a familiar stage, felt only once before, and a few years after my first bout with cancer. I realized this morning that my head is clear of thoughts of the disease and that I can once again picture my life without it. Call it denial, call it naivety, call it whatever ... it is an amazing feeling. I am not concerned that aches and pains might be the sign of a return of the disease and I have a wonderful feeling of plain old lust for life. It appears the black cloud that followed me all fall has finally dissipated! Yahoo!

I am also pleased to report that although I miss my buddy, that feeling has also eased. Perhaps the feelings are related? Perhaps it is a coincidence? I have no plans to ponder why ......

I am starting to think that 2011 might be the year that I will move on with my life, follow my dreams, and begin many new adventures! Hmmmm .... wonder what is in store? Stay tuned .....

Until next time .....
