The Help - The Movie or Real Life

Last night I was treated to a wonderful treat, dinner and a movie by my little sister and one of her best friends. We had a great meal and went to see the movie "The Help".

Can't honestly say which was the best the movie or the meal. We laughed, I cried and I was entertained for 4 hours. For those hours I escaped reality and life that surrounds me second by second. It was refreshing, the one thing I missed was being able to call D on the way home and tell him about the movie. When I got home, I would have laughed about this one scene and he would have gave me the "stank" face and said "I don't want to hear anymore". I would have teased Bo about it and he would have laughed till he wet himself at that one scene then I would have probably found time sometime soon to make them both a "chocolate pie".

It is a great movie, new friendships, new bonds, old ways washing away slowly, courage, fear, prejudice, lifestyle, ideas and ideals. It was truly one of the best movies I have seen in well a long time. Last movie I saw was Cars II with Carter Dean and I enjoyed it - so much for my vast movie experience.

The movie made me look at my life closely, if at this time I wrote a book I would call it "The Helpers" - it would be dedicated to you and there will be a heart shaped mirror one the first page so that when you open it and look inside you will see yourself as I see you. Full of love and promise, full of hope and dreams, full of GOD's grace and beauty, full of all the wonder HE created and the blessings of knowing you. You have graced my life with your presence and your help sustains me each and everyday. I love you and thank you for the honoring of calling you one of "The Helpers".
