Sometimes life feels like it is one challenge after another. Some challenges are easy, like making sure you are up in time to make it to Saturday's10 am rehearsal when you really want to sleep until noon. Some challenges are much more difficult, like finding a job or making sure that you and three animals eat when extra income is a big issue.
When I begin to feel overwhelmed, I usually think of ways to blow off steam. People blow off steam in different ways. Some people use shopping. (I love to shop but need to be careful of money.) Some people exercise. (That can be an extra challenge for those of us with physical disabilities.) Many people like to use alcohol to help them blow off steam and relax a bit. I confess I have done this some myself. One of my favorite ways to blow off steam a bit is to watch movies. Movies actually change my mood! Need a good laugh? Mel Brooks movies like Young Frankenstein or Robin Hood Men in Tights Jim Carey in a non Mel Brooks funny guy he get my attention as well. Need to cry? A good tear jerker works. Steel Magnolias or Dear John do the trick for me Feeling Romantic this is my favorite movie category. I do not have romance in my life now so I can get it through the movies. I subscribe to cable as well so no money is OK there are lots of free movies on demand. A good movie watch can see a movie 15 or 20 times and still see something new. I'm even acquiring quite a collection of DVDs. Anyway, Everyone needs some way to express feelings and get away from the world. Some ways cost more than others. Weather you have a disability or not I hope you find your means of personal expression. If your like me and you watch a lot of movies, check out Internet movie database you can find info on just about any movie ever made. Gotta go. I should be in bed got a concert tomorrow. On Monday I am seeing Medea's Big Happy Family. I need a laugh.
