Appreciating All of the Hours

Like this current hit with the rather welcome opening line of, "24 hours, I need more hours with you...", this Netflix Original Movie expands on the idea that we need to make the most of the time we have here on this Earth. We need to live & be in the relationships we have, as we'll never know when any of them (relationships or people) will perish.

This movie touched me so much that I physically cried [at the end] while watching it. And I didn't even cry at the end of this movie. I did adore that there is a nod to my ever-adored crochet. It's evidence that there's "no time like the present" to learn a gift like this.

The storyline expressed the importance of laughing through life. And appreciating each minute & moment as it is, for what it is. It's a message that each of us needs to consider from time to time. Though with life & all its usual distractions, it's also obvious why it takes a movie to be reminding us (& likely why we ultimately do cry during it!).

No one is getting any younger, & not one of us can create a particular life for anyone else - no matter how much they matter to us. Living in the moment & loving what we've got right in the here & now, that's what's most important.

I also enjoyed the obvious, yet subtle, strong "in-law" bond that her brother has definitely developed with her fiancé. There's no mention of it, & there's really no reason to - it goes in hand with depicting how their families were well intertwined; members leaned on one another naturally.

These are the thoughts that occasionally dwell in my mind, especially while I'm enjoying the craft of crocheting myself. Like with the movie I posted about yesterday, it was at this point, at the beginning of the unofficial start of summer, when I sat down for a bit, crochet hook & yarn in hand, creating another work of art, watching a lovely movie.
