I watched an excellent old movie the other night: Hope Floats with Sandra Bullock and Harry Connick Jr.
It’s about how depressing a divorce can be, especially for the children involved. But it’s also about getting a second chance at love. There’s a great line near the end of the film:
Unthinkably good things can happen, even late in the game. It’s such a surprise!
I feel it is my job to keep reminding you all to at least give hope a chance to float up to the top.
Here’s another great line near the end of the movie:
Childhood is what we spend the rest of our lives getting over…Beginnings are scary, endings are usually sad, and it’s the middle that counts the most.
Making the most of the middle is exactly what Susan Boyle did recently on Britain’s Got Talent Contest. Go see this YouTube video for an inspiring performance. You go girl!!!

Isn’t Susan Boyle wonderful. Good on her. Shows you can make dreams come true.
When I saw the video yesterday of Susan Boyle I couldn’t believe it. It was so inspiring they should show it as part of high school curriculum to inspire children to have a dream and to never give up.

Yes Linda! What the election of Barack did for black kids, Susan Boyle has done for those of us in our 40′s and 50′s. Yes we can!!!
