Makes You Smile...

Being with the lady that I'm closes too but can never be with ever again  and at the same instant  being faraway from her makes me smile.

this one is a little more light hearted but it made me smile...

Knowing you are surrounded by good people that protect you, listen and love you for what and who you are (no matter how fucked up sometimes!) and knowing that they also know beyond any doubt, that you would do the same for them.... Quite a long-winded way of putting it, but that makes me smile :-)

 
Possible spoilers for the move "Cool Hand Luke"

The fight scene where Luke is getting beat down and after a few big knockdowns even the other prisoners are telling him to just stay down, but he keeps getting back up until everyone, even his opponent, walks off. He refuses to submit.

That display always brings a smile to my face. I mean, that's life beating on all of us. Do we get up or just lay down?

I also like to imagine a spiteful Giles Corey when he yells "more weight" before being pressed to death during the Salem witch trials. Such a rare quality in people that I can't help but smirk when I hear/see accounts of it especially because the chance to display such strength comes at us every moment and we can all be like them. When I'm afraid to act, or worrying about the future, or cutting corners, or wondering what people think, I remember guys like these and realize this is nothing but a chance to display real virtue. Life ain't nothing but a series of adversities that leads to a hole in the ground, but it's more satisfying to put up a fight.

I can smile to that.

 
What made me smile today is that my husband and I went out for brunch at a place I have been wanting to try (a French restaurant).  It was a car ride of about 20 miles each way from home.  It was very charming, and the food was terrific.  They even had live music! I can't wait to go back. /default_smile.png

  17. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Robert Duvall and a handful of others were a younger actors coach and always said no one worked as hard as those guys did. Robert Duvall and rest would read the full script 228 over and over, then after the last read they would go into how to perform their character. The young man had made it to meet Al who are greats and pull them to the side. And explain what his coach said. They all looked back and said out of every role you’ve seen me in. I have read it 228 by myself. 🫡 🫢 🫢 🫢
