Thank kew-all for the love fest (I have never written that word before) I appreciate it.
Problem with a big heart is it feels too much, and moderation has never been one of my strong points. But its all good, I ain't complaining.
Lynne you called me last night but I was in the shower. Sorry I missed you. I know my Mamma is nothing compared to yours, and I am thankful we both still have them.
I didn't want anything important. Skipping work today...shhh!! But I have to run some errands in a few. Comparing Mammas would be an exercise in futility. And despite the exasperation, they're worth it...I think.
Your comment above got me remembering a conversation we had about moderation. Avoiding highs and lows. Dark car, curvy road, solstice...Anyhow...Reading between the lines, look what Ang Lee has to say about it. (This is from one of the interviews in the "Ang Ang Ang" thread - formatting is mine)
[Q]
If making this movie was so emotionally taxing, why did you do it?[A]
Because you're not supposed to. Truth can be painful and frightening. Lots of people, whether you're making a movie or doing a painting, you feel compelled to be honest. It's uncomfortable, but I feel compelled to communicate with other people. You and Ang may have kindred hearts.
