the french sea

i learned from the diving bell and the butterfly that everyone has to reach a point when they decide to stop feeling sorry for themselves. have you seen it? it's the story of a writer who has a stroke and ends up only able to move one eye and eye lid. it made me want to read the book. and, i cried, which is good. liz and i had to decide whether we could handle a movie with subtitles, but i'm glad we did. it's always nice to see people who are worse shape than me.

  1. I just started watching a very long engagement to try to connect with sort of the same thing. maybe this is more about not giving up and the diving bell is more about not feeling sorry for yourself. it's safe to say i can use a big fat dose of both.
