AtoZ Challenge I – Incredible

I for Incredible!! Received my copy today of the dvd – the “Greatest Showman“! Just finished watching it. It’s just as good the fourth time around. If you need a boost, this is it! Music, dancing, story of inspiration, acceptance and Hugh Jackman… need I say more? Buy or rent today…I would recommend buy, because you can’t watch this toe tapper just once.

Daily Prompt: Luminescent

Once again the Prompt fits my life. Yesterday I received the news that my fifteen year old grandson Jesse had won the Grand Prize in the Jackie Robinson Breaking Barriers essay contest. Jesse has always persevered in conquering challenges, whether it be tying his shoes, or playing basketball. We are so proud of you!

Congratulations!

Sorry about placement, etc. WP is being uncooperative today.

FFftPP – 4-10-18 and Secret Keeper #135

“It’s perfect! It’s just what we need for our coffee shop!” Joe was glad the light was behind the structure for her first view of their new home. Mary was skeptical, hoping for a more established yard, even a tree would have been nice, she thought, but didn’t want to discourage Joe on first look.

The dry surroundings and gray sky gave Mary a slight feeling of foreboding. Joe’s taste was a bit different than hers. “Look! It’s even got a sign board out front already! This is going to be great! We’re going to be rich!”

Mary hesitantly walked inside and immediately brightened. The interior was cozy looking, had a fireplace and a few tables and chairs. The small kitchen needed help, but that was her specialty. Joe’s specialty was knowing Mary and fulfilling her dream.

Movie Monday

“Awakenings” starring Robin Williams as Dr. Oliver Sacks, yielded many awards. The movie is based on one of many books authored by Dr. Sacks. “The story of a doctor’s extraordinary work in the Sixties with a group of catatonic patients he finds languishing in a Bronx hospital. Speculating that their rigidity may be akin to an extreme form of Parkinsonism, he seeks permission from his skeptical superiors to treat them with L-dopa, a drug that was used to treat Parkinson’s disease at the time.”

Oliver Sacks

Oliver Wolf Sacks,CBE,FRCP(9 July 1933 – 30 August 2015) was a Britishneurologist, naturalist, historian of science, and author. Born in Britain, and mostly educated there, he spent his career in the United States and believed that thebrainis the “most incredible thing in the universe.”[1]He became widely known for writing best-selling case histories about both his patients’ and his own disorders and unusual experiences, with some of his books adapted for plays by major playwrights, feature films, animated short films, opera, dance, fine art, and musical works in the classical genre.

Putting My Feet in the Dirt April 9

This weekend I saw my granddaughter who is having her 20th birthday this week. Afterwards, we instagrammed and had a chuckle. As I perused her older pictures there, my heart swelled with pride.

So here it is–I’m not bragging, well, maybe a little bit☺️. I realize how privileged I am to know the young woman she is. One minute she is the funny college sophomore, a little outspoken like me, but other times her “compassionate, soft heart” is revealed.

She says this is how she feels when someone asks her what she’s majoring in and she says History:

This is just one of the reasons I believe I am covered in constellations.<
