Last Saturday, my husband and I decided to stay in and watch a movie. (A very simple and perfect night for us). After browsing through a variety of previews we decided on a movie called Seven Pounds. I have never heard of this movie before, but it looked like one that had an underlying meaning. Every now and then I come across a movie that ignites a lot of deep thoughts from within. This was one.......
This movie initiated a conversation between Tom and I. We started to discuss how thankful we are. Saddened by the movie, I started thinking about what I tend to take for granted and I immediately felt guilty and selfish. Like many, I think I'm having a bad day when things are not going as smooth as I would like them to be. There are people who really have it tough and I/we need to be more thankful everyday.
The greatest gifts in life don't have a price tag attached. For some reason, we are all brainwashed to believe that if someone has a lot of money then that person has a good life. And then there is the statement that may follow ......the only people that say that are those that are envious. I disagree, these people are smart not envious. Smart because they see what really matters in life. Everyone wouldn’t mind having a few fine things, but it is what is free that is the most valuable.
