Feel Lucky

I feel so fortunate and "lucky" to have such kind people in our lives.  Our family friend's father passed away last month and her mother passed away 10 years ago. She's an only child and her and her parents were so kind to us. They helped our family when we first moved to Canada and are such nice people.  I feel very lucky to have known them and to have spent so much time with them and learned a lot from them. 

Getting older and life has its ups and downs and just knowing that we can pick up where we left off without having to explain ourselves and we have such respect for one another it's so nice. I miss her parents very much as they were such a big part of my life growing up. But, it makes it clear that we must never forget and we must appreciate the time we have with one another while we are still here and strong.

Fifty Shades of Grey

So, I finally watched the movie and I read all the books. Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele! I really like Jamie Dornan so, of course I had to read the books. I really liked him as "Graham" in my fav show Once Upon A Time. I also really liked Dakota Johnson, too. She's believable and simple and pretty. I have the "love me like you do" song in my head all the time. The "earned it" song is in my head and I find my husband Manny singing it too..heheh..The idea of the movie/books are dark and kinda twisted, but then I like books/movies that have hope and give happiness to complicated characters. The books are definitely telling a love story and the characters find happiness.  Happy endings are definitely what I gravitate towards. There's so much negative stuff in the world. I like having hope.
