Enjoyed watching the movie Larry Crowne on DVD today. It was laugh-out-loud funny in parts…very sweet and definitely inspiring. Well-written story, great acting, and just plain fun to watch.

I enjoyed seeing Larry meet all kinds of interesting people and learn to love his new life. I’ve known folks in his exact situation…some have chosen to wallow in the pain of losing their old dreams and some, like Larry, have chosen to move forward towards a new dream. In the last few years, I’ve lost several long-held dreams and I’m slowly working my way towards embracing some new ones. It’s meant choosing to let go…of things, memories, wishes, friendships…but I’m finding so many fulfilling options to fill any voids.
