Buttercup

Song: Build Me Up Buttercup by the Foundations
Why is it that the unknown is so scary? We stammer or postpone what we know is the right thing to do out of fear. I am a believer that people come in your life for a reason. I was watching a tv show that paraphrased this so well. "Relationships are hard to come by because relationships begin with friendship first. And good friends are hard to find." First it was a nameless man who after a 3 month dating relationship encouraged me to write a blog for healing. Then it was several others. Followed by that one girl and then another guy. We truly have no idea the weight of our words-- how much they can encourage and influence or cut us down. While no person should give us our true value, they do attribute to this. It all stems from knowing who we are and who God created us to be. From this is what we build.

Movie: Princess Bride

Buttercup didn't know what she had until her dear sweet farm boy, Westley, left. While she vowed to wait for him, she felt after years of waiting for her true love to return and hearing of his death from the dread Pirate Roberts, she felt that she had no choice but to move on and marry the spineless prince. No matter how many times I see this movie, I fall in love again with the love story. Along with the many quotable "inconceivable" lines and awesome cast, this has to be in my Top 10 faves.
