For the next couple weeks I will be posting the Gratitude Journal prompts that are being given to my students and my response post.

It kind of depends on the kind of movies that we’re talking about. But this was one thing that I really missed during the pandemic: going to movie theaters. I have a huge screen at home that takes up a whole wall, but there’s just something about spending several hours in the dark with a giant soda and popcorn and enjoying a movie, especially when the theater is full of fans of the film. Sadly most showings that I’ve attended have been nearly empty. But big sci-fi or action movies require the big screen and the big sound and hopefully a room full of fans. 

Movies have been my refuge for years. I have fond memories when all the siblings lived in Southern California of getting together to watch one of the Lord of the Rings movies. That was always a great way to celebrate a birthday or holiday. Here’s a couple images from past movie events. Enjoy.
