In Love With a Movie ...

What was the last movie you fell in love with?

That would be Pirates of the Carribbean which starred Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom.

What was so appealing about it?

It's part drama, part comedy. Johnny Depp played a rather unscrupulous pirate. His makeup was outrageous! He was terrific in the role. I about split my sides laughing.

Orlano Bloom made an excellent young hero. He was dashing and skilled with his sword.

It was a basic tale of good vs. evil and "fate" to some extent. The hero and the heroine were on board the same ship when they were children. There was a storm and then a wreck. The boy (who turns out to be Orlando Bloom) became orphaned. Little did he know that his real father was a pirate himself! At any rate, by the end of the movie, the young hero and the heroine are in love and are going to spend the rest of their lives together in ... piracy?

I think there will be a sequel.

It was wonderful to sit and roar with laughter. I am eagerly waiting for it to come out on DVD!

Circle of Words:

What Women Want The great question...which I have not been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is "What does a woman want?" - Sigmund Freud

1. What is it that you really want? At the end of each day what is it that you have hoped to have accomplished, felt, experienced, etc? Do you feel you are getting what you want out of life? If not, will you ever?

I want to enjoy life. I don’t want to be hassled with little petty problems. I want to sit in the backyard and relax, read when I want, write when I want, love and be loved, clean when I want or do nothing at all if that’s how I’m feeling at the time. At the end of the day, I want to feel relaxed and happy. Fortunately, I do feel I’m getting what I want out of life right now. It’s a wonderful feeling!

Daydreams Reverie is not a mind vacuum. It is rather the gift of an hour which knows the plentitude of the soul. -Gaston Blanchelard
2. Daydreams incubate creativity and make possible things that we thought could never happen. What sorts of things do you daydream about? Do you think your daydreams help you as in lead you down the path to positive things, or do they hurt you because you are desiring things that you know will never happen?

My day dreams really are constructive and if I would just take the time to write them down, I might go somewhere with them. I tend to dream either about story ideas I have or plot lines OR I daydream about pleasant places I’ve visited … like the beach. I’m not desiring things I don’t have so I’m not stuck in that trap. If I do daydream of “wouldn’t it be nice?” stuff, it’s all attainable.

Nightscapes Dreams are illustrations...from the book your soul is writing about you. - Marsha Norman
3. Do you ever remember what you dream about? Do you think that your dreams mean anything about how you view life or yourself? Do you have any dreams that you dream over and over again? What is the dream about? What do you think it means?

I rarely remember any of my dreams. For a time, I kept a notepad by my bed and when I’d wake up with the remnants of a dream in my head, I’d hurriedly scribble down everything I could remember. That was the only way for me to remember much more than one or two details. As far as I know, I haven’t had any repetitive dreams. I don’t really know how to interpret my dreams. I mean, I know what some of the symbols are but I’ve read some sites about what dreams mean and I just found them confusing.
