1.2.11

Watched “Rabbit Hole” last night – the one starring Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart. It was a story of coping with the loss of a loved one, subtly essayed by both actors. You like to sympathize with the character Nicole was playing, but you are bothered by her “no-longer natural” lips. The same thing you feel when you see pictures of Meg Ryan, Melanie Griffith, Ruffa Gutierrez and Pops Fernandez.

But the real point is, I got my first film of the first week of the year done with. And I indulged in a bit of mini-shopping as I bought two pairs of pants and a checkered black, red and white shirt. Not bad for a start.

On top of this, Norrie and Harry were with me as we strolled and shopped and dined and talked and laughed and took photos of a moment in time when the beginning of the year only brought nothing but smiles and laughter. It does make me feel better.



REFLECTIONS
Genesis 1-3

Dear Father,
Thank you for creating me as wonderfully as you made me out to be.

Show me my own little world to have “dominion” over and help me do my best to “oversee” it.

Teach me not to want so much and not to be deceived by “serpents” around.

Help me to be responsible for my own failures, shortcomings and sins and honestly acknowledge them before you.
