Movie and Reunion Reflections

My husband and I saw Slum.Dog Millionaire last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was an engaging and suspenseful movie that told the story of how a young man from the slums of Mumbai wins the biggest prize on a game show. This is a wonderful movie that lifted my heart and made me reflect on my own excess of good fortune and extraordinary wealth of my country and home. It is humbling to see the extreme poverty and street children of the third world and how they struggle for the most basic necessities; food, shelter, and safety. My pets have a better standard of living than these children and it's heartbreaking. You can't help but think, except for the circumstance of birth, there but for the Grace of God go I...

I got an announcement that my 30th High School reunion is planned for this summer. I had really wanted to go, but now that the date is set, I'm not so sure. I would love to see all my friends again, but it seems a little overwhelming. The High School reunion has their own facebook page and I've been sending some messages back and forth to my classmates. It's great to connect with some old friends, it's like opening up an old book I haven't read in a decade. I can't believe it's been thirty years since high school and we all still remember each other. (Well, at least most people.)

I have no plans today except to watch the commercials for NFL SuperBowl. I do not like watching sports (Boring!!!), but the commercials are alot of fun. (Usually better than the game.) I have 3D glasses for a few commercials will be in 3D. Pretty cool.

Well, off to fold laundry and tidy up the house before the Big Ad Blitz. Best to you and yours this Sunday.
