Freedom - 2

Jewel and I occasionally like to take in a good movie.  We saw a heart-warming one the other day...Larry Crowne (that's Crowne, with an "e!").  Tom Hanks is a once-in-a-generation kind of actor...any actor who can convincingly navigate his way through a role where your only dialogue is either with a deflated volleyball...or yourself...in my estimation, worthy of the label--modern-day Jimmy Stewart.  The story resonated deeply with us both.  Close to home.  Loss seems to be the common language we all understand...more now than ever.  But, when seen through a lens of hope, sometimes it can mean freedom.  Show us our true treasures.  We are not there yet...but in process of changing glasses.  Finding a rental that works, buy us a couple of cruiser bikes for the river trail, shop farmer's market and cook some mouth-watering organic meals, persuade Rudy to teach us golf and Dee to show us the joy of kayaking...have friends over to just hang out...dad-gummit--be able to sleep in my own bed every night...it sounds a lot like freedom.
