Did you see Albert Brooks documentary? It came out last year, and it’s called “Defending ‘My’ Life, and it reminded me how funny it was, even today, despite having seen it so long ago.
Now I want to get that movie! Lately I’ve been reflecting a lot on how I seem to be choosing the safe road much more than I used to. Great nudge. Thank you.
thanks, Lou. A perfect post for a slow Sunday morning with inspiring quotes and stories. Light, gentle and profound. Enjoy your week and I have to ask What are "Cool Beans'?? Cold beans-no, Bool Ceans ?
😂 I've been saying Cool Beans since the 80s and I don't really know where I picked it up from! It can mean anywhere from no problem, great, awesome, brilliant, sure, to cheers (in my case!)
This resonates … the jolt came for me about 6 years ago when I realised my comfortable middle class life wasn’t doing it for me any more and I needed to live and regain my independence.
Brilliant insight, Lou. I totally relate to the Albert Brooks character and avoid his dilemmas is a huge "WHY" and motivator for me. Thank you for this.
Oh, I can totally see that in your work, Paul! I can only imagine you won't get an Emmy if you weren't a little bit ( A LOT BIT) daring, bold, and unafraid! Cheers.
My alarm rarely go off, and if does, I usually switch off it and saying to myself it is only stay sleeping a minute to wake up after an hour, taking my clothes quickly to catch up with a taxi or mini bus. Best regards.
I never saw that movie but I am going to see if I can find it on one of these streaming services we have! Sounds intriguing. Thanks Lou! Have a great week.

No I didn't! Aargh. Thank you for mentioning this. I'm going to look for it!

You're so welcome, Cathy. It just hit me that your piece about comfort zones and this one are complementary readings! 🤓

I had the same thought.

YES to wake up calls! 💃 And cheers to regaining your independence, Denise!
and i'm now so more aware of the need to focus on me and to drop out and move on if it isn't helping my 'one true precious life'

I hope you enjoy it Matthew! It won't win any award, that's for sure, but it definitely got to me 😊. Cheers!
