There are three movies I can connect with. This one probably comes closest to my inner self.
Not a side I show to many. It wouldn't be wise to pretend that I haven't grown out of this stage. And yet, sadly for those who know me, I have not.
That's not to say that I feel the need to change, I just feel that others would get so much more from me if I did. But that needs to be their issue, not mine. Take me, or leave me, but take me as I am or don't take me at all. Thankfully, my friends allow me to be me. Acceptance is key - and it must swing both ways. It's that give and take step so many skip. I know I did for many years, until I had nothing to give, and was offered so much.
Life. What a small word for everything we experience while on board this crazy cruise. Throw me a life vest Captain I seem to be drowning! And in plops a vest thrown in by a friend you nearly missed out on if you hadn't taken a leap of faith and jumped right in.
"How sweet it is!" exclaimed Jackie Gleason. Indeed - how very sweet it is!
