1658 verses 2009

A Girl is a Girl.......

I just finished watching Girl With a Pearl Earring, for probably the

6th time. Griet was a 16 year old girl living in Holland in the mid

1600's. She had to go to work as a maid after her father,

who worked in one of the infamous Delft Tile Factories,

had an accident in the factory

and went blind.

Griet worked for another family across town. She suffered

humiliation but also learned vast knowledge about herself and

other parts of the world other than her own little corner.

She grew as a woman and decided

what she wanted for herself. Ultimately making all her own

decisions.

Last night, I went to the movies and we saw "Confessions of a Shopaholic"

Rebecca is a 20 something girl living in New York City girl who has a little problem that is turning into a big problem. She's addicted to shopping!! While Rebecca has dreams of working for a fashion magazine, her career takes another turn and her column becomes popular.Turning her into an overnight celebrity. She also struggles with decisions about who she is and what to do with her

life. Rebecca turns her life around and becomes the woman she always

wanted to be.

Life is funny, whether you were born Across the Pond in the wee old

days or here in the States, trying to keep your head above water,

we all have the same lessons to learn. The girls with the brains win

out and live happily ever after.........Till next time.
