A Quick Sunday Read and a bit about Love at First Sight
Hi Reader!
A day of rest, relaxation, and replenishing the mind and soul. It's necessary, isn't it?
In the midst of doing just that I stumbled into this movie, fell in love and just had to share.
Also, in the vein of replenishing, I'm rereading this piece on Thought Changer:
As always, would love to hear your thoughts.
Quick Share
So, to the movie. Romantic comedies are a dime a dozen unless they're done right, with a light hand, a contained timeline, and smart, witty dialogue. When it happens it's a lovely surprise, it feels fresh and, for me, it invokes feelings of hope, love, belief in fate, and a good ole "neck cry" as my friend Kelly calls it. This is one of those.
"Love at First Sight," based on the novel, "The Statistical Odds of Love at First Sight" by Jennifer E Smith, is about two strangers who, by a twist of fate, meet on a flight to London. They're smitten kittens until, by another twist of fate, they get separated after landing. Their journey and what happens next are compelling, real, and touching.
Perfect for a restful Sunday.
Journal Prompt

I hope you have a great week filled with moments of love, first sight or otherwise. And, kindness.
Keep creating, abundantly,

Hey Reader! Thank you for being here. More to the point thank you for receiving me into your inbox. It’s a privilege I don’t take lightly. You’ll see some slight changes to my correspondence in the coming weeks. I’m consolidating my newsletter and blog onto Substack. It’s a big change for me as I’ve had my blog Thought Changer at its current location for the last 15 years. It feels time to change it up and bring things under one roof in a place with a ready and engaging community for both...
Hey Reader! Every day is a day for love. This week contains THE day of love, according to St. Valentine and card designers at Hallmark. Perhaps celebrating Valentine's Day does cause us to think about love, to express love, to feel love, all the more. If it does, yay. I was blessed to share time this week with the full extension of my nucleus family. What a joy! Four generations all together. It was the first time we have all gathered since the birth of my two great-nephews in August and...
Hey Reader! Special moments highlighted this past week. I spent a sweet afternoon with my parents which included giving my mother a manicure as she prepared for a special event. It was sweet and joyful for both of us. Her hands are feminine and graceful. As I carefully applied the gel polish I recalled a lifetime of watching her hands sew, knit, paint, play the piano, garden, arrange flowers, dance, teach, type, stir and bake, set tables, design, guide, discipline, caress, love, and age....
