So, an update on Tuesday's Date Night. I did opt to stay with the "date" concept and see Yes Man with hubsters. Somehow it just felt wrong to hang out with Edward in a theatre while my husband was watching a movie in a different theatre on date night.
Yes Man, was, in fact, a surprisingly GREAT movie. The perfect mix of comedy plus a darn good message. Jim Carey was perfectly cast as the lead and Zoey Deschanel was simply beautiful.
The premise of the movie is simple. Carl (Jim Carey) is stuck in a life rut including a non-existent love life and a stale career when he gets drags to a convention called "Yes is the New No". At the convention, Carl takes an oath to say Yes to EVERYTHING for a whole year which paves the way for a plethora of opportunities (some good, some bad). His new mantra, Yes, forces him to start experiencing life instead of just watching it pass him by.
As a self-proclaimed homebody and not-one-to-attack-social-activities-with-gusto (though when I do...I have a blast!), the message of "Yes is the New No" resonated quite strongly with me. So much so that I plan to use the word YES much more often to make sure I am taking advantage of every opportunity in life.
With that I leave you with one of my favorite quotes:
"Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take but rather by the moments that take your breath away"

The world viewed from 5,000 ft is breathtaking. This is the kind of view you get to enjoy when your husband is a pilot. However, most of my time is spent with both feet on the ground.
