We Are All Lucky
Today is Saint Patrick’s Day, a day I associate with green, all things Irish and…
good luck.
We are all so very lucky, my friends. (big hugs)
We’re experiencing year 4 of a worldwide pandemic and we’re still here! Woot! That’s good luck right there.
We have access to the internet. We have stories to read and I have stories to write. We have each other. (more hugs) Hopefully, we have food to eat and a roof over our heads.
We live on the best planet in the solar system and perhaps in the universe. The air is breathable. Plants are growing all around us. There are fantastical creatures and a nourishing sun.
We are truly lucky.

The cyborg will die.

Leap Year And Character Goals
Please Note: This post will share spoilers about Leap Year. If you’re like me and have been delaying watching this 2010 movie, consider skipping this post until you’ve seen it.
I finally watched Leap Year! I’ve been avoiding watching it because the premise – a woman seeking to propose to her longtime boyfriend and then falling in love with a different guy—had a high likelihood of me feeling sad for one of the men. But it was on the TV and it captured my attention within mere moments of watching it.
Leap Year has its issues yet I found it entertaining and it does some things VERY well.
One of the things it does well is show us the difference between what a character thinks she needs and what she truly needs.
Anna, the heroine, grew up with a father she couldn’t depend upon. She is looking for safety and she interprets this as financial safety.
Her longtime boyfriend gives her financial safety and that’s it. He is a successful surgeon and makes a sh*tload of cash.
But we see from the start he doesn’t give her emotional security. He doesn’t hesitate to leave her alone when they’re surrounded by strangers. He doesn’t offer her the stability of marriage. He isn’t there for her in any way other than financial.
Anna takes matters into her own hands and decides to go to Ireland and propose to him. Everything possible goes wrong and she ends up in a rural area with the snarly, grumpy hero.
At first, Declan, the hero, looks like he’s the absolutely wrong guy for her. His restaurant/hotel/bar is in financial peril. His kitchen is about to be repossessed. And he refuses to help her. In any way.
He eventually relents. They bicker. Anna isn’t at all impressed with him.
That attitude starts to soften when Declan refuses to abandon her, trailing her all over the country. He is THERE for her, even when she destroys his beloved car. He doesn’t yell. He is quietly, grumpily behind her literally every step of the way.
Her view of him significantly shifts when he fights baddies for her. He might not be able to make her feel financially safe but he makes her feel physically and emotionally safe. The man even cooks for her, showing he can care for her in that way also.
This is a romance so Declan does become financially stable also but Anna doesn’t know this when she chooses him. All she knows is she feels safe with him. She can depend on him. He is there for her.
And that is exactly what she needs to secure lasting happiness.
