The Ugly Cry

Today, all of my fears and anxiety and thoughts came out in one big one and a half hour ugly cry. Aleks and I went to see The Art of Racing in the Rain. I was really taken by surprise today with what happened in this movie. It hit a little too close to home for me. Aleks had asked me to go, and all I knew was that it was about a race car driver and his dog, and I knew it would be sad as animals usually die in books and movies. But I wasn’t prepared for parts of the plot. It was a really, really good movie, and I am so glad I saw it, especially now, but I just wasn’t prepared. The theme of not living in the future and not living in the past but living in the present really hit home in this movie and this weekend. Hard to do, but that is the goal. Going to bed early as I am wiped from the ugly cry, and I am hoping to get some results tomorrow.
