I WATCHED THIS MOVIE LAST NIGHT, IT'S LONG BUT WORTH WATCHING. IT IS VERY SIMILAR TO A FORREST GUMP TYPE MOVIE ONLY MORE UP TO DATE.
KHAN IS A MUSLIM MAN WITH ASPBERGER'S SYNDROME, WHICH IS A TYPE OF AUTISIM, IF YOU ARE LIKE ME AND ARE NOT VERY WELL EDUCATED ON THIS SYNDROME OR AUTISIM, IT GIVES A VERY TELLING INSIGHT INTO THE WORLD OF THESE PEOPLE AND WHAT THEY LIVE WITH ON A DAILY BASIS.
THE MOVIE IS MUCH DEEPER THAN KHAN'S SYNDROME, IT IS A STORY OF TRUE LOVE, INTOLERANCE, SOCIAL PROFILING AND MUCH MORE FOLLOWING 9/11.
TO ME IT WAS ENLIGHTENING IN SO MANY WAYS, IT MAKES YOU LAUGH AND IT MAKES YOU CRY.
TAKE THE TIME TO WATCH IT, I'M SURE YOU'LL AGREE IT'S WORTH YOUR TIME.
MAKE SURE YOU TURN ON THE ENGLISH SUBTITLES SO YOU CAN FOLLOW ALL OF THE STORY LINES.
MY VIEWS ON THE UPS, DOWNS & IN BETWEENS OF LIFE ! I BLOG ABOUT IT ALL, TRAVEL,KIDS,FAMILY,PETS, RELATIONSHIPS,FINANCES,LOVE,MARRIAGE,CURRENT NEWS,THE INJUSTICE'S OF THE BIG BANKS,INSURANCE,EMPLOYERS YOU NAME IT "NOTHINS OUTTA BOUNDS " I APPRECIATE AND WELCOME YOUR COMMENTS AND FEEDBACK, IF YOU SEE AN AD OF INTEREST TO YOU PLEASE CLICK

WHAT KIND OF FOOTPRINT WILL YOU LEAVE HERE?
HAVE YOU EVER ASKED YOURSELF "WHAT WILL I BE REMEMBERED FOR WHEN I'M GONE?"
MOST OF US NEVER STOP TO THINK THAT WE TOUCH 1000'S OF LIVE'S DURING OUR LIFETIME.
WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY WILL MOST REMEMBER ABOUT YOU ?
WILL IT BE THAT YOU WERE KIND ? CARING ? GIVING ? FUNNY ? HATEFUL ? BIGOTED OR TOLERANT ? SELFISH OR SELFLESS?
THE WAY WE TOUCH OTHERS DURING THIS SHORT TIME THAT WE HAVE HERE ON EARTH, WILL BE HOW THEY REMEMBER US, WHETHER IT'S GOOD OR BAD.
THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE ARE GOOD AT HEART, DO YOU SHOW IT ? OR DO YOU HAVE THE FACADE OF BEING STONY & RIGID ?
MY FAVORITE COMMERCIAL IS THE ONE OF PEOPLE SHOWING SIMPLE ACTS OF KINDNESS TO EACH OTHER, SOMEONE ELSE WITNESS'S IT AND PASSES IT ON TO SOMEONE ELSE. YOU KNOW, WE SEE THIS COMMERCIAL EVERYDAY IN REAL LIFE, WHETHER WE KNOW IT OR NOT, AND WE CAN BE THE STAR OF THE SHOW OR THE OTHER 100'S JUST PASSING IN THE BACKGROUND GOING ABOUT THEIR OWN LIVES.
I PERSONALLY WANT TO BE THE STAR OF THE SHOW, I WANT TO BE KIND TO OTHERS, I WANT TO GIVE AND HELP WHEN I CAN, I WANT TO SAY PLEASE AND THANK YOU, I WANT MY FOOTPRINT ON THIS EARTH TO BE THAT I WAS FUNNY, CARING & GIVING, BUT MOST OF ALL, I WANT TO BE REMEMBERED AS MAKING A POSITIVE MARK IN SOMEBODY'S LIFE I TOUCHED ALONG THE WAY.
IT TAKE'S NOTHING TO BE KIND TO OTHERS, HOLD OPEN A DOOR, LET AN ELDERLY OR PREGNANT PERSON HAVE YOUR SEAT ON THE BUS, LEND A CARING EAR TO A FRIEND IN TROUBLE, NOTHING BIG. IT COST'S YOU NOTHING TO GIVE YOUR TIME TO SOMEONE ELDERLY, AN ANIMAL SHELTER, A HOMELESS SHELTER, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ANYTHING BIG LIKE FLYING TO HAITI, WHICH WOULD BE WONDERFUL IF YOU COULD, BUT REALISTICALLY, PROBABLY NOT.
JUST ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND, HOW DO I WANT TO BE TREATED BY OTHERS, THEN TURN IT AROUND, PRACTICE IT, AND YOUR FOOTPRINT ON THIS EARTH WILL BE ONE THAT IS LEFT BEHIND FOR OTHERS TO BE GLAD THEY KNEW THE PERSON WHO LEFT IT.
YOU WILL BE AMAZED HOW CONTAGIOUS RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS CAN BE.

ENJOY SUNDAY FOR WHAT IT IS MEANT FOR !
SUNDAY'S ARE A DAY TO WORSHIP, RELAX AND ENJOY FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
I REMEMBER SUNDAY'S WHEN I WAS A KID, WE WOULD GO TO CHURCH, COME HOME, MY MOTHER WOULD COOK A HUGE LUNCH, THEN WE WOULD EITHER GO VISIT FAMILY AND FRIENDS, OR THEY WOULD COME TO US, WE WOULD NAP,PLAY IN THE YARD OR
JUST SIT AND TALK. IT MADE THE START TO THE WORK WEEK MUCH MORE PLEASANT.
NO WORK WAS DONE ON SUNDAY, THAT WAS FOR MONDAY - SATURDAY. I LOOK BACK AT THOSE DAYS NOW AND REALIZE, LIFE WAS SO MUCH SIMPLER, LESS STRESSFUL AND HECTIC, AND I MUST ADMIT I MISS IT.
SO TAKE TODAY AND ENJOY IT FOR WHAT IT WAS MEANT FOR, WORSHIP, VISIT, NAP OR PLAY, BUT ENJOY IT, THAT'S WHY GOD MADE TODAY AN OFFICIAL WEEKLY HOLIDAY !
