" Being tall is an advantage, especially in business. People will always remember you. And if you're in a crowd, you'll always have some clean air to breathe." - Julia Child
Who could neglect their blog the day after seeing "Julie and Julia"? It was thoughtful, funny, and most of all inspirational.
What inspired me the most was Julia Child's attitude in contrast to Julie's. Julie, is a disenchanted young lady who wanted at one time to be a writer. Having failed at her one attempt, she has spent close to 10 years working at one meaningless job after another, and never finding satisfaction with anything. She is easily defeated by her own negative attitude. Julia Child on the other hand would never admit defeat.
Julia faced each challenge with a flair of competition, not just with others, but with herself. When negative things happened to her she simply found it to be her next challenge, never a defeat. Her positive spirit smoothed the rough edges of her experiences and added joy to her blessings.
However, when Julie refuses to let the real Julia Child's opinion overshadow her hard work, Julie finds the "Julia" within her, and inspires us as well.
It just goes to show, life cannot get bring us down if our attitude is up...
Now, how do you make "Boeuf-Bourguignon"? Oh, here we go, and "Bon Appetit!"
