I just got up to my art studio, and turned on the tele for some background noise, and what did I happily see was playing? One of my favorite movies, The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. I just LOVE this movie, as well as this same story is my absolute FAVORITE book, which is saying a lot since I so have so many favorites.
I think my draw to this movie is that I have always dreamed of having a small intimate group of women who all share their lives with each other. A band of sisters who are there for each other through thick and thin! Now that I have re-read this sentence after writing this, I realize that I kind of do have this little sisterhood in my own life, we just live kind of far from each other! But, just knowing that I have got my own sisters out there, it makes me realize how much more special I think this movie is.
Besides the sisterhood itself, I think my favorite part of this movie is the pomp and circumstance surrounding the Ya-Ya Sisterhood ceremonies, with it’s candlelight and self-made crowns. I can just imagine the girls sitting in a circle, the air crackling with positive energy and hope, I can hear the giggling as Vivi tries to keep them all in character, in her dramatic way – of course I would be Vivi in this scene. But of course, DAHLING!! 😉
Anyway, I digress! 🙂 I wanted to tell you about my day today. I went to work, as usual, but then I had a doctors appointment this afternoon. I have a really hard time going to the doctors. I feel like I am just complaining when I go, because I know there are people out there who have much larger problems then I do! I want to just skim over whatever is going on with myself, which usually means I don’t say what is the real reason I came into the office.
Does anyone else have this issue?
Is it just me??
And it isn’t my doctor – I LOVE my doctor!! She is one of those people who has the BEST kind of bedside manner, and she doesn’t mind explaining things over and over for you, or answering all of my questions. So what is the big deal?? I would love to hear your experiences with your physician!!
Anyway, I know this is kind of a jumpy posting tonight, but I am so tired! I feel like I am recouping from jet-lag from our vacation these past 2 weeks, so I will have to ask for your forgiveness!! I am going to go spend some more time cleaning up my art studio – slow and steady wins the race!!
Have a FABULOUS evening!
Hey sis! You have always had your own Ya-ya sisterhood. Your sisters, Nette and I always get together and do just a chic day. Yes, it has been awhile since that last happened but you can make it however you want it. Even if there are only a few gathered or not. Life happens and doesn’t always allow for the group to come together as a whole, but there is nothing wrong with that either.
NOW…your sisterhood is coming together for an annual ritual….WOMEN OF FAITH! HELLLOOOOHHHH!!!!!
You come together for spiritual enlightenment, bonding, laughing, crying, singing, eating ….what more could you ask for… other than me to magically appear… LOL!
As for the doctor thing.. the only reason any of us goes it usually to complain about aches and pains. The only happy time would be for having a baby or a boob job. LMAO!
And I love reading ALL your blogs…those that have a them and those that bounce all over the place. Tells us you have a lot running through your mind and that helps us get to know you!
I love you and hope you have a fabulous Wednesday!
Thank you, Sissy!! This is one of the things that I LOVE so much about you! You always know how to make me feel “normal”!!! 😉 I love that you are one of my sisters, and yes, if you would like to “magically appear” that would be AWESOME!!! When money gets a little looser, we will have to plan a girls weekend to get together!! Wouldn’t it be AWESOME to meet up at a European-type spa??! That is one that pampers the hell out of you versus putting you through the ringer!! 😉
Anyway, I love, love, love you, Sissy!!
I hope you had a great Wednesday too!! 😉
