Aug 31, 2015 - Saving Mr Banks

I have not been so emotional during a movie in years! Saving Mr. Banks was an amazing journey. Not only was I on an emotional roller coaster through the stories on screen is was taken through my own childhood. As a child we lived in the country with VERY little. No cable, no phone, no frills. Many times we had to conserve water from the cistern and take sponge baths. We did however have a television and a VCR. Mary Poppins was one of the few movies I had to watch. I grew up with Mary Poppins. I could put the movie in and lose myself in the stories and pretend I was anywhere but where I was. I think all families have it rough and as we grow up we choose the memories the we keep. Saving Mr Banks shows that there are some times when you just need to face your past in order to let go. No longer to be chained to the memories that define us. I chose a good morning to lose myself in a movie. Thanks for the memories. Perhaps it will help. ❤️
