It's Just Like Boiling An Egg!!

So I just came back from the most delicious movie, a personal indulgence on a late Saturday afternoon because my husband is in Colorado, Elliot is at work, Katie and Joe are at University and I worked my socks off for the best part of 2 days doing homework and so I indulged...I went to the movies. I went to see Julie and Julia, a movie I knew no other member of the family would go with me and it spoke to me....deeply and now I am very self reflective. Maybe its because I have been crazy all year with work and Grad School and most recently writing my thesis. When I have a bad day ( and I have a few!) the thing I want to do most is come home and cook for my family, it centers me, it comforts me and that is the premise of the movie Julie and Julia. And so I was transfixed throughout the whole movie, nothing else has quite spoken to my soul in a while, why...because it brings me back to the fundamentals, too often I overcomplicate things, am I doing enough at work, do people like me (who cares anyways) am I a good enough parent, wife, nurse, good enough anything. But the thing that always, has always brought me back is taking care of my family in the most basic of ways be that making scrambled egg for breakfast of Beouf Bourgingnon for dinner (one day I will bone that duck). Thank you Julie and Julia for bringing me back to myself.

Oh and by the way, passed the thesis with no rewrites, tickled pink, 2 more classes to go and then I am done....yeah!!!
