Since no one has guessed – I’ll reveal…..it’s another John Hughes movie from the 80s.
“Don’t mess with the bull, young man, you’ll get the horns.” – Paul Gleason, as Vice Principal Richard Vernon in The Breakfast Club!
And now I am totally in the mood for a John Hughes marathon – it’s supposed to rain ALL day on Saturday….hmmmmm….

Donna – It is tragic to watch our friends and loved ones lose out late in life because they didn’t take the time to take care of their own needs. I totally relate to that with my own loved ones as well. And I vowed not to be like that either!
Thank you so much for your thoughts and reflections, they always mean so much!

Thanks so much Aruna. I am learning a lot about following one’s path and listening to your heart. It’s amazing how things happen once you open yourself up to new experiences.

Congrats on the new gig! I’m so happy you can do something you want and get paid for it.

I’m not sure who said the quote about play with the bull – you get the horns. It’s something my dad says all the time, and I didn’t know it was from a movie. Will check your next post to see if you gave the answer.

Also a huge fan of Ferris – his let loose for a day attitude is healthy and allows us to discover the joy in life. Re-evaluting what is important, where we are going, and are we enjoying the journey are vital to getting what we want from life. Too many of my (dare I say it) middle-aged friends are waking up and realizing what they have is NOT what they want. They then bail, destroying lives in the process. I don’t want that to happen to me. I’d rather take a day-off, let loose, go a little crazy, find out what makes me happy, and then re-dedicate myself to working hard for those things.

Thanks for the reminder that it’s OK to momentarily let the responsibilities go so that we can make sure we are on the right path. Best of luck with your new endeavors!

My favorite part was Janie (Jennifer Grey) in the house with Mr. Rooney, or when Ferris sang in the parade.

Thanks so much for your support Theta Mom – your blog is AWESOME and I only hope I can do as well as you are doing – you have an amazing following!

Ferris Bueller…OMG! I loved that movie! My favorite part was when they were trying to get into that fancy restaurant! Classic! I totally related to this post because I have also found a creative outlet through writing on my blog. Congratulations on the paid writing gig! Reporting local news for a regional newspaper sounds AWESOME!
BTW, I am really enjoying your blog, just added you to my blogroll.
