During one of the several days we were snowed in during the winter this year, my wife and I settled into each other's arms on the couch in our living room and started the Pixar movie UP!
A few minutes into the movie there's a wonderful montage that got both of us to unexpectedly tear up. Take a look:

The wife kept a scrapbook titled Stuff I'm Going to Do. What was so wonderful was they enjoyed all the different stages of life together.
Unfortunately, one of the pair left leaving the other alone. But that's where the adventure began for the main character of the movie.
One of Claudia's girl friends from Barcelona, Spain just wrapped up a three week trip to the United States. It was her chance to do a little soul searching after life threw her a curve ball. She wanted to find herself again and we think she may have done that on the trip, or if not, then she's a little more at peace with herself.
What everyone should remember is to not get caught up in the things we are going to do, but enjoy the moments life gives us each day as best we can. Plan the future but don't define your happiness based on how you expect things to turn out because Life's going to throw some curve balls your way. It's just a matter of time.
So go watch this movie if you've not already. And if you cry a little, that's okay too.
