Sometimes those fabulous moments start simply enough... a group of five women gathered at the conference table, having lunch, and talking about the television they watched over the weekend. I saw and loved, "Hugo" thanks to Movies on Demand. Loved it. Two thumbs up. When images and the story and characters all stay with you long after the credits have rolled, it is a guaranteed success. One co-worker who had also watched it this weekend didn't feel quite as strongly about it as I did, but instead shared she had watched America's Funniest Home Video's last night. She went on to tell about the winning video which oddly enough did not include any crippling crotch injuries or pets. Hard to believe, but it was truly funny and involved a woman waking up after a dental procedure and the ridiculous things she said while coming around. The conversation was taken over by a third woman who retold the following story and said, "If we would have had a video camera, I know we would have won!"
An afternoon gathering of mothers and children with the mothers in one room talking, and the children in another assembling their own marching band. The children begin to march through the room with the women and they are banging on make-shift drums or humming into kazoos until my co-worker notices one of her own sons has a trumpet, with the mouthpiece over his nose and he was blowing with all his might.
I could not stop laughing. The image of a young boy with his nose pressed into the trumpet, serious face, marching along brought tears to my eyes.
Share your fabulous moments - the telling and retelling of the stories keeps us all alive.
