At all. Am not going to see the movie either.<br /><br />When I was reading the book I felt like she just needed to focus on someone else, get busy doing something for someone less fortunate and stop spending so much time complaining. <br /><br /><br />Life is hard, no one promised me an easy life....but my faith always get me through the tough spots....no need to travel to Italy, India or Bali. Not that I'd mind it, in fact, I'd rather do it when I'm not searching for something....then I might miss the beauty that is right in front of my nose.Kikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03206946600984174783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837298353619193887.post-57629525773880904232010-08-17T08:06:15.822-07:002010-08-17T08:06:15.822-07:00I love your posts!

Gilbert to be a self-centered and whiny person. I have no desire to see Julia Roberts in that role. I find her smug to begin with, and I think the movie character will bug me even more than the book one. I know E.G. wrote her second book only to make $$.<br />i like your strategies for finding happiness in your own back yard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837298353619193887.post-85087104571206258742010-08-16T08:31:27.376-07:002010-08-16T08:31:27.376-07:00Loving your tips!

I will probably go see the movie, but I don't like the premise of it. I haven't read the book, but I know that true fulfillment and contentment can only come through a relationship with Christ. People and relationships and jobs and exciting careers will always come up short. I love the ways you make life different!Henley on the Hornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18200566259157298386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837298353619193887.post-19357735869275057972010-08-16T06:17:51.093-07:002010-08-16T06:17:51.093-07:00I am having a midlife crisis too...I posted about ...I am having a midlife crisis too...I posted about it last week, Tuesday I think. I also mentioned this book, but not in the travel sense, but more in the fact that I need to appreciate what I have more. Thankfully, I'm not in the position the author was in (feeling trapped in a marriage), but I still need to see the blessings. That's kinda what I go out of it. You're right though...I'll still be lined up to see it.Southern Living: Preppy Stylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15980788934203692603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837298353619193887.post-18983711356536409782010-08-16T06:13:46.272-07:002010-08-16T06:13:46.272-07:00Right out of college I too moved to the LA area.

If I had not I would not have met my husband of almost 12 yrs.<br />Each person must do in their heart what they feel is right. Just because I moved home doesn't mean that some of my siblings did. They are all over the world (China and London just to name a few places).<br /><br />You are right there are ways you can find the real you by just little things too.<br /><br />You have a wonderful way of expressing yourself and it is such a pleasure to read your postings.Suburban prephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18395691728192716148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837298353619193887.post-55322934888647735642010-08-16T05:31:30.052-07:002010-08-16T05:31:30.052-07:00You rock... my dh thinks I am having a midlife cri...You rock... my dh thinks I am having a midlife crisis!
