Recently I posted that life is a Hallmark Movie, and that I loved watching them. I have not blogged in quite awhile, but tonight I find myself wanting to share.
I love Hallmark movies, I love Hallmark card commercials, I love that all Hallmark movies have Happy Endings.
Last Holiday season, two weeks before Christmas, I ended up getting a torn retina, and almost lost my sight in one eye. For two weeks as I was recovering, I was only able to listen to the Hallmark movies, but they helped me get through the two weeks of not being able to get up from the same prone position for 23 hours a day. This Holiday season, a week and a half before Thanksgiving, I find myself drawn to the Hallmark movies more than ever. In the last year my family has faced a lot of ups, and quite a few downs, and if watching a Hallmark movie brings me to a feel good place, then I am not ashamed to say, that they make me smile.
I think the real theme of Hallmark movies is just that....they are movies to make you feel good and bring a smile to your face. Unrealistic though they may seem, I am particularly grateful, that even in the ups and downs, good times and bad times of my life, I like to think that my life is a Hallmark movie. Its a Hallmark movie, because I am grateful for my life, the love of my wonderful husband, the gift of having my children all safe and secure, my parents, siblings, in-laws, friends and relatives. My life as a Hallmark movie is still being written, and it is my wish today, and during this Holiday season, where family and love are in abundance, that my Hallmark movie, like all Hallmark movies, has a very Happy Ending.
