I bet the movie, Last Chance Harvey, is very niche specific and won’t get great reviews. Definitely a chick-flick for those of us a little down on our luck. That’s why I went to see it; so that I could experience the happy ending to Harvey’s sadness.
I’m bringing this up because I liked his last words. She asked him about what he was presently doing, His answer … "I’m in transition."
Transition is fine once you deal with the reality of a closed door. Oh, the pain of it. The questions, the sadness, the tears, the what ifs, shoulda, coulda, woulda stuff.
Well, today I bought a new purse. For me, this signaled my acceptance of that door. I looked at my tattered old purse and thought, it’s much like how I’ve felt for a long time. My new purse is soft, good-looking, and will meet all my needs. It’s new. So for a while, this is going to be my a symbol of all the new things that will come my way.
Old, worn out Harvey had a smile on his face and a renewed dignity. So will I.
