The Way

It is very rare that I actually write about a movie as even though I like movies not many move me as much as this one.  "The Way" is an Emilion Estevez movie that stars his dad, Martin Sheen as the main character Tom.  It is about a father that goes over seas to claim the body of his estranged son that has passed away.  His some dies while starting his pilgrimage on the "Camino de Santiago" and the Father decides to do it for himself.  The movie is a moving and beautiful cinematic masterpiece IN MY MIND. I cried a lot and I was inspired.

I don't want to tell you the whole movie, but it was great.  Yes could and have other people seen this movie and thought nothing of it? Yes they have, but I don't care.  This movie was real, well written and well filmed in my opinion.

I would love to make this trek one day.  I would like to say that in about 12-15 years when my daughter is in college I would love to take the 20 - 30 day trek of the Camino de Santiago.  To take it all in, not rush nor fret.  To let the experience lead the way.  To set aside my fears and let life show me the way.  The Camino de Santiago is on my bucket list now with seeing the aurora borealis some day.

    "...seeing the aurora borealis some day." That's on mine, too! Surprised you haven't made a family trip to do that!

    Turns out two of my friends did the sound job on this film - hopefully they will be loaning it to me!

HI Stacy! Hope Heaven is treating you well.  We sure miss you here on earth.  I am sure you are watching us daily, but just in case you are missing the finer details let me fill you in on your kids.  They, just like me, miss you.  We all wish that tomorrow was a day of celebration not a day of remembrance.  But I guess we should celebrate that you are not in pain anymore and that all three of yours children are being well taken care of. Hey did you hear that I am FINALLY getting married?  You would totally like the guy.  He's so great.  He's a big goofball like me but very loyal, caring and helpful.  He treats us all with respect and has only the best intentions when it comes to the kids.  We will rock this parenting thing together.  These kids will have an additional person to fill them up with love. So what have you missed in the last 5 years?  Unfortunately a lot.  It makes me sad sometimes to remember what t...

Because you need me

Today one of my loyal readers told me that he really needs me to update my blog more often.  He was tired of reading that I am "yellow" and he said that he sees me more as a "Peach".  LOL  I said I don't and probably will never own anything peach, come to think of it I don't even own anything yellow. So here are a few things that crossed my mind today. This morning when I got dressed in my room, I really thought my outfit matched.  Then after further consideration and better light at work I decided that I did not match at all. :-) I used to think that getting my nails done was a waste of money, but I really want to go get pedicure. I wish those belly belts that say they will tone your tummy actually worked, I'd wear it daily. If Nacho was a baby, I think he would never learn how to walk because I love him so much I'd carry him everywhere...but since he's a cat he'd scratch my eyes out if I tried. I miss fried foods. Sometimes I thin...

A trip and a 5k a month?

Can it be done? Of course it can...I already know I can run a 5k so I just have to get off my butt and do it. As for the travel well January and February are booked. April, June, July and August are close behind. So 6 out of 12 is not too shabby for it only being January 9th - half way there. So where should I go? Any suggestion?
