As to Disney and Beauty and the Beast, I’m a bit disturbed by the fact that nobody seems bothered by the talking clock. Men as beasts is real enough, gay people are real enough,but when clocks start talking to you, somebody should be willing to recognize there is a problem. I would hope if I ever started seeing talking clocks, somebody would check my meds or perhaps consider prescribing me some.

This was brilliant. Though it’s missing Doctor Who, which is coming back too! My heart jumped to see Miss Fisher. Is there an online petition I could sign suggesting Essie Davis as the next doctor? Because she would be perfect, and she can literally run backwards in heels.
It’s very hard to keep your dreams alive, to chase after them, to believe in yourself when no one does, to listen to your heart and not other people telling you how to live your own life. Most of all, to choose to be happy, because nothing can make you happy, not even Mr. Darcy! It’s very hard, but if we really try to do it, really, stubbornly convince ourselves to do it, we can. Even if we don’t win, we could be happy just living for the dream.
P. S. I danced on my way out of the theatre after watching La La Land, and I wanted to watch it again too! Though the person I went with didn’t like it at all.

Essie David would be spectacular as anyone she played and now I’m picturing her as The Doctor, oh wait, can she wear the clothes she wears in Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries https://yadadarcyyada.com/2014/09/06/miss-fishers-murder-mysteries/ – those clothes, I can just picture her in the TARDIS!!! But I digress. 😉
Even when we feel exhausted from chasing our dreams, we must push on and on, wait, not even Mr. Darcy can make me happy, I don’t know about that, just give me a moment while I relive the white shirt in the pond moment, sorry, what were we talking about?
I felt like Ginger Rogers but probably looked more like Fred Rogers dancing, sigh, but it made me feel like floating. I have heard some folks didn’t like it, but I love old Hollywood movies with dancing and it felt like that, to me.

I don’t remember which episode it was, but she was wearing a white trouser ensemble with heels and running. Running is very important in Doctor Who of course, and it just struck me Miss Fisher would make a perfect Doctor. Let’s just keep her as she is, and only make her a TimeLord. I’m sure she’ll be able to rattle off the technobabble, make us cry in the emotional scenes and gather many sexy male companions along the way. 😉

Donna, I loved reading this post! What a delight because you’re encouraging everyone to follow their dreams. And why not? Let’s face it, we all get older, and feeling that you’ll fail to achieve your dreams is perfectly natural—failed attempts are encouraged in order for us to overcome and succeed because that’s how we learn—after all, we’re all imperfect, so failure in our attempts at something shows us how to achieve our goals. Live… that’s the key, and we only get this one crack at it. It would be a shame (not to mention a regret) not to go after what you’re so passionate about and in love with doing. So grab onto your dreams, hold tight and go for it. Everything in your post here inspires hope and encouragement. Love and hope with a healthy dose of determination can help crowd out complaining, especially about trivial matters. Besides, if some can live in a delusional existence, then why can’t the rest of us live out our dreams? Glad to see you back, Donna. :O)

lol That song is stuck in my head. I recently tried to watch a few episodes because I remember it being funny, I may have been remembering incorrectly though Will Smith was great. 😉
Hope this week is being good to you, Lisa. 🙂

Hi Donna,
I love your posts. I loved La La Land. I love your view on politics. Well, today’s news stories are giving me optimism. Probably false hope, but hope none the less.

Thank you so much, Janice, it was an amazing movie, one of the first in a long time that immediately after it was over I wanted to watch again.
Have hope, dear friend, the cream and truth will rise to the top soon. 🙂

Yes, I loved him as Denny, I think it was when I first saw him and fell, then of course ‘Supernatural, ‘P.S. I Love You’ ‘Watchmen’, ‘The Accidental Husband’ and so much more, but I admit, I love him as Negan, he’s bad but he’s soooo good at it. 😉

So much so painfully true. So sad the world and how it has become.

Yet even in the darkness they’re so much light and joy, it’s sad that there’s too much focus on the bad stuff.

Hi! It is sad. Too much emphasis on the tragedies of life.
Life is a struggle right now, not feeling much inspiration in life. Doing all I can to grasp those amazing moments that fuel me to inspiration again. 🙂
Hope you are well and enjoying the holiday season! Wishing you inspiring moments filled with love, support and more!
