Saw The Help last night. I didn't read the book, but my wife did. It's kind of hard to say it was a "good movie" seeing as the subject matter is so difficult, disturbing, and upsetting. I feel more appropriate saying it was really moving. Impactful. Life disturbing (as in abrubtly shakes up everything you've set up in your mind, kind of like a snow globe) in a good way. Growing up in the South, this movie hit me on multiple levels and I'm glad I saw it. I would highly reccomend it. In other news, I've been working all week on a kids kitchen play set. Finishing today. What I love so much is that I made it from scratch out of trash wood, pallets that were being thrown away or left to rot. Seems appropriate after watching The Help to see the beauty in what some are throwing away or treating like trash. Here's a sneak peak...
And can you believe it...today I'm not sure that it got up to 100 degrees!!! In the middle of everything, if we don't stop to thank the Almighty for our nice day which was proceeded by rain last night, then I think we're missing the point. Who knows, maybe tomorrow it will snow.
