romantic pick me ups

hi all-
the romantic wedding summer has begun... and love is all around. something else to keep you going- a few movies that i thought were quite wonderful. i don't quite get to watch movies very often, and when i do, its all netflix. so my latest one was pride and prejudice, the 2005 adaptation of the jane austen novel(with keira knightley). my husband says the book is so much better, and hopefully one of these days, i'll get around to being able to sit down quietly and enjoy it. for now, i have to stick to the movie versions. the other movie related to this was becoming jane, with anne hathaway. forgetting the english accents, it was about austen's life, and what led up to her novel writings- and how her own emotions of being in love, and not getting a happy ending, which was the base of her novel, pride and prejudice. of course, you'll have to read/watch them yourself, i am horrible at doing it justice here in writing. but they remind you what love is, what is worth fighting for, the pain of social and class obligations & family, and the freedom of love. and hopefully it'll remind you of why you got married in the first place.

may you find a moment of time to reconnect, to read, to watch a movie, and to smile.
