National Treasure is on. I love that movie. My husband teases me that I watch it so much. The other day I was watching it in the bedroom.
"Why do you like that movie so much?", he came in and asked.
"It's a mystery!", I enthusiastically replied.
"Not by now it's not." he responded dryly.
The man has a point.
Regardless, I love the movie. Today, for the first time, I logged on and checked out the Declaration of Independence. Maybe voting has put me in a patriotic state of mind...but I wanted to see for myself what the document said.
It is very cool. And if you haven't read it since the 3rd grade (like me), then go find it now and read it again.
And here's something I realy didn't know... there's a Rough Draft. Really. I was shocked. I don't know why... I guess I just thought it is such a great document that it just wrote itself.
Which is just silly.
But, it's a great lesson for me. Great documents don't just happen without re-writes, revisions and re-do's so why do I think great lives just happen.
I'm going to do more that I'm not certain about. I'm going to stop waiting for the perfect word, perfect plans. I'm going to get it down on paper, start doing it. Then revise it. Lots of things get edited. Few things are perfect the first go-around.
What a great lesson. Now I ask you? What's not to love about that movie?
