QUOTES from the SANDBOX ~ Friday, July 20, 2018

Hi Everyone!  This afternoon at a luncheon with some of my friends, we played a little game; ~ part of it was to write down 3 movies we saw through the years that left a lasting impression of some kind. Further, what was the impression they left?  I kinds felt it was a lot of fun...had to make some choices and ended up with the following:  (1) Wuthering Heights (1939 with Heathcliff, Catherine 'Cathy,' and Laurence Olivier);  (2)  Jane Eyre and Orson Wells,  (3) Gone With the Wind  and Clark Gable. 

 No, it wasn't just the actors...it was the depth of the stories. They left a lasting mark on my soul.  I wondered how two sisters, Emily and Charlotte Bronte were the separate authors of the first two choices of movies.  After going to the Internet and reading of their sad childhood, I got to thinking of how does one heal.  Yes, and that led me to the following quotes:  Healing Quotes.    I did travel around in my mind today and it was sort of sad and sort of fun all at the same time.   Wishing you a great day.  Just wondering when I think of each of you, what would be your 3 choices of movies?   What meaningful impressions do you still have?   I know...I know...I could have chosen laughter and fun impressions too.  But you know what my 4th choice was:  Saving Private Ryan.  Guess my mind was on that kind of a track....                                                                                                                                                     Jane

I could respond to my situation  --  either to react with bitterness or seek to

course."                                                                           ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

"This life is for loving, sharing, learning, smiling, caring, forgiving, laughing,
hugging, helping, dancing, wondering, healing, and even more loving.  I

get out of bed in the morning, the devil says,  'aw shit, he's up!"
