"Don't Drive Angry...."

Happy Ground Hog's Day!

Since I don't live far from where Punxatauny Phill lives and "sees his shadow", I figured I'd post about the day.... kinda.

I'm a big fan of the MOVIE "Groundhog Day" ( hence my post title today...), not only because it's a funny movie, and you get to see parts of both Pittsburgh and Phill's hometown, but more importantly the whole underlying theme behind the film. If we were forced to re-live one day over and over and over again to learn life's lesson, how long would it take for you?
I can't imagine the nightmare of having to do that on one end, but I can see having a blast screwing with the people around me since I'd know what is going to happen... But is that fair? Knowing what is lying before you, and knowing what someone is going to say or do takes all the fun and fear out of it. I think that life isn't about the "angles" you can find on something or someone to get what you want. It's not about "YOU" it's about the bigger picture.

Finding that meaning in our own lives that we always seem to miss on what seems as days that repeat themselves, but the days on the calendar change and the characters continually are different. We all might not live the same day over, but we CAN find ourselves in a rut and find that rut harder and harder to get out of. Not becuase we're boring or lazy, but life gets in the mix and certain things take priority over others. For those of you that work a "regular" job, it's your daily routine of : Get... go to work.... eat .... work.... go home...
Others that do that, PLUS have a family, you add in getting the kids to school up, dressed, fed, and to the bus, or drive to school.. then work... then reverse the process all over again... get the kiddies home, fed, spend time with them playing, helping with homework, get them ready for the night and in bed...
By that time... where's the "me time" for you and your significant other, or just yourself if your're a single parent??
Rutts are hard to see at first, harder to get out of, and impossible to avoid, but we can make the most of it and do what we can to help each other keep fresh and happy.

Wow... I just reread all that... not sure where that came from. Maybe it's my work getting to me already...
