Bridge to Terabithia

BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA described as a fantasy/adventure story of friendship, family and the power of imagination.

We watched the movie last tonight and of course cried. Not only for the loss of the little girl but the realization of loosing ourselves as we get older. We don’t dream anymore…we just try to get through the day. Now I just have to read the book! Let my imagination run wild! Lol

Skyler had a rough night of sleep so I think the movie was too much for her. But CK was interested in the movie, even with his tears, he checked out the book today the library.

People are so quick to judge. I challenge you to think about that bully in your life. Even as adults we still deal with the bullies! Many are bullies because of their own insecurities and dishonesty with themselves…I know that describes my bully. Some are bullies because they are being bullied. There was an 8th grade girl in the movie, that was the bus bully. Later it was found she was a bully because she was bullied and beaten by her dad at home.

The two stars of the movie, a young boy and girl, lost themselves in their own made up world as an escape from the bullies and bad things happening to them it seemed at every turn.

I thought about Jennifer. She told her CK that when things get bad…write! No one can judge you in your thoughts or what you write for yourself. Or like the little boy in the story…sketch!
