You can have anything you want, dear. You just need to stop waiting for someone to tell you, you deserve it. -Evelyn
Everything will be alright in the end, and if everything is not alright then, trust me, it is not the end. -Sonny
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel was spectacular, words kind of fail me to its beauty. I truly suggest that anyone should go and see this fantastic love story of life. It's a sweet story about several elderly people that have come to that unfortunate transition in their life where they are questioning their next step, literally Life? or Death? It's tragically beautiful, in that anyone, the young and old and beautiful can relate to their crossroads of life. There is racism, love overcoming all, disappointment, sadness, reconnections, defeat, loss, gain, and beauty wrapped in this delicate English film. Gosh, it's so good! "This is a newly different world, the challenge is to cope with it. And not just cope, but to thrive. India, like life itself I suppose, is about what you bring to it." The culture and music of the movie are rich and deep and make me anxious in anticipatory excitement for Burma (which is a mere 6 1/2 months away). I just bought the soundtrack to the CD--only $10.99 on iTunes :)--and I am sunbathing in it's radiance. I told myself that I either want to pass safely in my sleep before I hit my geriatric years, or live on in pure joy of life like Evelyn in The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel: for the Elderly and Beautiful. She says, "The measure of success is how we cope with disappointment." May it only be so....
