100 Year Old Adventure Full of Belly Laughs

I can't wait to get to 100 if life is going to be as exciting as captured in the film The 100 year old man who climbed out the window and disappeared.  This is a seriously funny movie. We both loved it and so did the other 8 people in the theatre, I seriously don't know why the theatre wasn't full. Only the man at the other side of theatre never laughed out loud. The 6 ladies and us cracked up throughout the movie.Good belly laughs that had us still chuckling at dinner afterwards.

I tried some time ago to read the book of the same name but couldn't get past the first chapter.  I rarely give up on a book but that one just didn't hit the right note for me but the movie was an altogether different story.

The biggest lesson that I got from this movie was that you just don't know what impact your actions will have on others. Some of the circumstances in Alan's life impacted history. I wonder what impact my life will leave on the world I have lived in.  Will the ripples that I make on the water of life touch someone else and impact them in such a way that it changes the course of  history?  I hope so! That is why it is so important to do what you do with conviction and purpose.

I am at a strange change point in my life and some things that I do well just don't fill me with any excitement anymore, they seem purposeless and lacking life (even though they may be a means to make money) but other ideas make me sing and THAT is how I want to live my life.  It's not always easy and some of the decisions I am going to have to make to live in that purposeful place will possibly change the very way I live. I feel like ideas are germinating currently like this plant springing out of the mud and sand. I snapped this while on the beach at Cape Tribulation in North Queensland (a fabulous part of the world).

Don't get me wrong, I have moments of doubt and fear about what lies ahead in these uncharted waters.  I will need support from friends and family, and I will have to put my faith in God as I step out into the unknown. However, if  I don't step out then I'll never know what's there.....  Sort of like 100 year old Alan climbing out his window.
