The child in me needed this tonight...

I was in sort of a "funk" today. Just slightly...not all the way. Okay, maybe a mid-life crisis? Maybe hormonal? I warned you guys this was coming. Lol! I had some sushi for dinner with my good friend, Bryan, and came home and snuggled in my soft, plushy robe. I love my robe...it hugs me like it's been waiting for me all day long. Don't you ever feel that way when you wrap a soft robe around you after a long hard days work? Anyway, of course Mocha proceeded to "knead" on me once I put it on. :) The robe was therapy for both of us, I suppose. I then climbed into my always welcoming bed and watched Kit Kittridge. I think I was sort of needing to go back to the womb a bit tonight so the little girl came out and said we need to watch this! I loved watching this movie. It was so wholesome, so sweet. It takes place during the Depression. Kit has an aspiration to become a young writer/reporter amidst the turmoil that unfolds in her own home. Set in Cincinnati, Kit finds a way to help her mother run a boarding house after her father loses his job.

Father, daughter moment...

Mother, daughter moment...

Don't you love their hats?

The characters were all so wonderful and some of the scenes reminded me of these old vintage pictures.

I mean there's something so wholesome about these pictures. Something so non-dysfunctional. Ha! When life sometimes isn't perfect (and when you are in a funk and reflect back on the could'ves, would'ves and should'ves) a movie like this and pictures as sweet as these will sure help you through it.

Maybe somewhere, in another plane of existence, the Donna Reed life really does exist? :)

I wish....
