I HAVE TO BE ME

Tonight I went to see a wonderful movie. It was an Israeli movie with English subtitles.
I went with my cousin and a friend. We had supper first and then they wanted to drive with me to the theater. I guess they were afraid they wouldn’t find a place to park. Give me a break!!!!!!!! Why do they worry? It makes me crazy! I have no patience. That is why I like to go myself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FLUCHKES

MOVIE 314

June 13

Fluchkes (Yiddish for flabby arms) follows the creative process of the dance performance, "Gila". A group of colorful and energetic 72 to 82 year old women bravely confront the hardships and demands of the art of dance. At the same time, these honest and candid women openly share their personal experiences and feelings on aging. Each one of them presents a unique perspective on the aging process. The film followed the group through a year of rehearsals, moments of hardship, failure and great success. Finally, in front of an approving audience, a truly professionally artistic performance is born.

Anyhow the movie was wonderful. It was called "Flutches" – something like that. What it means is the skin that hangs from your arms…………It was about four women who are in their late seventies who take up Creative Dancing. Each of them explains how they feel about getting older and being old. They begin dancing lessons and show how proud they are of their bodies and their abilities even at such an old age.  I suggested to the organizers that they have dancing for seniors next year. I hope they do. I will join and have fun. The women explain how they are still interested in love and sex. One gets upset as she tells the choreographer that she doesn’t want to keep changing the steps to "make it better." She explains that at her age she can’t remember from one practice to the next. So there is just free dancing. if the movie comes near you I would highly recommend it. I am going to look it up on You Tube.
Most of the time I didn’t go to these type of movies because hubby wasn’t interested. NO MORE! I must go to things that I enjoy. I can’t and won’t wait for him. While there I bought tickets for SECOND AVENUE which is suppose to be wonderful also. My cousin left during the movie. My friend and I thought she was just too hot. Anyhow at the end of the movie my cousin was so angry that we didn’t leave the movie to see how she was. We didn’t think she was about to faint!!!!!!!!!!! She is VERY heavy and does no exercise. So it ended on a bitter note. That is why I prefer going alone!!!!!!!!!!!!! When we were leaving there was a group doing Israeli dancing. I would have stayed and watched for awhile but they were waiting for me. I’M SORRY!!!!!!!!! THAT IS WHY I PREFER TO GO ALONE. It’s not like I get so much pleasure from being with them. I KNOW. I AM A BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s not my fault that I prefer being alone. It’s not my fault that you need someone to hold your hand.
You worry about where to park.
You worry about what to eat. You are on a diet.
You can only eat salads.
You worry about going right or left. Who cares! Just keep walking. If you go in the wrong direction you can turn around. Believe me you won’t die!
Once again I am determined to do what I want and not worry about others. I only go around once. Hubby is starting golf so will be busy and that gives me a lot more freedom.
He’s still out. I wonder if he’s at the hospital. I wish he would have left me a message or called!
So that’s my two cents for today. Better call my hubby.
