Day 334 - Gut-Wrenching in These Foolish Things

It’s the last day of November. Officially another NoJoMo in the books. I always love the discipline that doing an entry a day gives me. And I always seem to keep the mojo (pun intended) going at least for a little while.

While I was at my family’s house for Thanksgiving, my dad suggested I watch a movie called Train Dreams. It’s on Netflix. Have you seen it?

I turned it on while doing laundry and then pulling out my Christmas decorations yesterday. I wanted something to watch in the background. But it soon sucked me in and gave me the biggest gut-wrench. What an amazingly beautiful, quiet, gorgeous, heartbreaking, gut-punched life this guy had.

I can’t stop thinking about this movie. The cinematography is breathtaking. The story is heartbreaking. I am deeply moved.

It’s been a while since I was moved like that by anything. I think I’m really emotional thinking about life and the meaning and my family and my whole world in general.

Anyway. I hope everyone enjoys the last day of November. Mercury is finally out of retrograde and it’s time for some forward motion. I want to go to a vintage fair today and then I’ve invited Lesbian Crush over this afternoon so I can give her some of the Cool Cat Company stuff I have leftover from my old fucking job. And now, since I have my severance check firmly sitting in my bank account, I can spill some tea with her. Looking forward to that.

xox,
GS
