Last Chance

The Last Holiday starring Queen Latifah was on TBS one evening, which I caught halfway through the movie. After about twenty minutes I turned the channel and made a note to go rent the movie the next day.

Although it was predictable with a happy ending that I won’t give away, but you can probably take a guess as to the outcome, it tells a lesson that my father has taught me all my life: live each day to the fullest because you never know if it could be your last.

It’s a story about a religious woman who has held back in indulging all of life’s pleasures, from food to men to vacationing; basically living life. One day through an accident at work, she is forced to go to the doctor and get a CAT-scan. Yep, prognosis negative.

Apparently, she only has three weeks to live. So what does she do? She packs up and goes on a European vacation and does more in a couple of weeks than she had ever done in the rest of her life. It is a feel good story and I recommend to all. Hopefully you will walk away with more of an appreciation for life.
