Brace yourselves. Punxsutawney Phil has seen his shadow and predicts 6 more weeks of winter.
Today, I join Brady in celebrating Groundhog Day. Brady has written a fine piece today about the redemptive story lines in the movie. Make sure you cruise on over the Swiss blogger border and give his post a read.
I love the part in the movie when Bill Murray’s character realizes that his day is repeating over and over again. He reminisces about a particular day in his past and laments that this particular day is not repeating.
The genius of the film is that with the day that actually repeats itself, over and over again, he finally gets bored living to please himself and sets out to become a better person to better help others.
It’s a good habit to make today count. Do some good things today, enjoy yourself and help others, take a step to improve your character and disposition. Because you never know . . . tomorrow you may wake up to Sonny and Cher singing “I got you babe” and the radio deejay saying:
Okay, campers, rise and shine, and don’t forget your booties because it’s COOOLD out there today!
