August Rush

Pure. Innocent. Gentle. Loving. Touching. Hopeful.

I love this movie, especially at 2:30 am after a day of loneliness and sadness, it's great movie to end a day on, or to begin one for that matter.

It's when you think that your life sucks, you watch that movie and realize that it's not all bad and there is hope after all. The movie is a bit romantic, full of hope, a bit sad and still brings joy (at least it did to me).

I did not really think yesterday that my life sucked, but I was a bit sad, because Matt was all the way in Seattle at the family reunion and I was not there, not even close. He called me from his parents house, but I could hear everybody having fun and his dad wanted me to talk to a few people, which I did not like. Not because I don't want to talk to anybody, but because right after I talk to anybody from home except my husband, I start feeling very sad, so I try to avoid that as much as I can. I don't mind talking to Matt's parents when I am with Matt though, but that almost never happens.

Anyway, so last night after I got off the phone with Matt (we talked for over an hour) I thought I would get some wine to cheer me up (3 glasses of wine had accomplished just that) and watch August Rush. Overall, the mission was accomplished. I wasn't as upset any more that I was all the way in Russia, or that my extended family had fun without me, rather I was just content to be at home and at peace with everything going on around me.

I bet I would watch August Rush over and over again, but I must say that I won't watch it when I am in a happy mood, that is when I get to watch Fool's Gold, 27 Dresses or some other chick flick. But I loved August Rush, for those who did not get that yet :)
