A Few Things

  A few things came to my attention today that I wanted to share with you. All are happy, to me anyway. Positivity is the theme of the day most days recently.

  Julian Fellows is writing a Downton Abbey movie! Now he is pretty quiet about its story line but I relish the chance to see what Carson and Elsie are up to. Were Edith and Bertie able to keep Marigold's secret? Did Mrs.Pattmore start a romance with Mr. Mason? And did Tom find someone to share his life with? 

  There is also talk that maybe it's a prequel! Taking all the characters we know and love and showing us their first days at Downton would be fun. Seeing the Dowager Countess in charge of the Abbey. Watching Robert and Cora marry and then fall in love. It's a fan's dream! Fingers crossed this comes to be.

  Canada's 150th birthday is just two days away and the police are doing everything in their power to make sure it is a safe one if you are going to Parliament Hill in Ottawa. Those of us who live here are working around road closures and massive delays but I believe it is worth it to ensure people's safety. 

  Prince Charles and his wife Camilla are stopping by to celebrate. As are the fabulous Bono and the Edge. While we are happy to have them party with us, especially Bono after saying how "the world needs more Canada", they aren't Canadian. Like all birthday boys/girls, we want to celebrate with our friends but we still want to be the center of attention!

  Speaking of Canadians, Michael J. Fox got the Governor Generals Award. A huge honor. The speech he gave was so......Canadian. He thanked everyone. From his family to his first drama coach. It was funny, kind and sweet. Exactly like we imagine Mike to be. Martin Short, who I love love love, got the award as well.

  It's graduation time! Lots of kids ready to move on to the next phase of their lives. Congrats to you all especially Matt, Brennan, and Avery. Get out there and show the world what you are made of. Be fearless in your choices. Experience all that is possible. Discover who you are while remembering where you came from. 

  See...there are still wonderful things going on in the world. We just need to open our eyes to see them.
