Every so often a movie comes along that truly inspires you every time you watch it, more than any other movie you've ever seen. You can watch it over and over and always learn something new about yourself and the world around you. It's the one movie you turn to when life hits a low point and you need someone or something to help pick you back up. I don't know what that one movie is for you, but for me I've discovered it's the Lord of the Rings trilogy and Return of the King most of all.
I don't know why these movies help to pick me up. Maybe it's watching Frodo's struggling journey that helps me realize as hard as I think things are for me, some people struggle with something much harder to deal with and they do it with great perseverance and courage. Like Frodo, they come out a different and stronger person. Makes me realize I should stop complaining and just get on with the task or tasks at hand.
Or maybe it's seeing that Frodo wasn't alone in his journey. He always had Sam, who stuck by him and encouraged him, even when Frodo tried to push him away. There were all the others who stood with him as well. When I think on that, I think of all the people in my life who whisper words of encouragement to me. They stick by me even when I tune out their words or push them away.
I just came off of working 12 days straight. Yes, you read that right, 12 days with out a day off and let me just say, by last night I was truly beat. In fact all week I've been coming home and saying to my husband, "I just don't think I can go another day." To which he always replies, "Yes you can." So, I spent today watching Return of the King and I've got several other movies lined up as well. I've got to say, I think by Tuesday (which is when I go back again) I will be able to walk into that library, plan my programs, and yes, even deal with the teens who insist on using other people's library card numbers to gain more time on the internet. Now if I could just figure out what part of "Only two people on the computer at a time" they don't understand, life will be perfect.
Have a great day all!
