The Fighter

I know, it's amazing; I've had two, maybe three thoughts in the same day!  I just went and saw The Fighter.   It was good.  Not an uplifting movie until very near the end, but certainly makes you think about a lot of things in life.  How many people are surrounded by people, be it family or "friends," who hold them back when they have the ability to soar.  It's sad.  It's so exciting to see someone excel and break free of the confines of what they've always been surrounded by. 

And as sung by Lee Ann Womack:

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances
But they're worth taking
Lovin' might be a mistake
But it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart
Leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out
Reconsider
Give the heavens above
More than just a passing glance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance!

Happy New Year!!
