Pollyanna

Today's movie selection is a result of this beautiful weather we've been having in California.  I don't know about you but there are movies I like to watch when it's gloomy and some I like to watch when it's sunny etc.  This week's movie is called Pollyanna. It's a 1960 Disney movie, starring Hayley Mills. This is a story about a young orphan girl who goes to live with her rich Aunt and turns the town around with her kindness.

One of my favorite things about this movie is that Pollyanna was raised to believe that she was never too young to make positive changes.  She challenges adults and then the whole town to be better to each other.  I was also raised with that mentality (which sometimes gets me into trouble because I always want to be vocal and stand up for what's right, but sometimes the timing is wrong) It's a beautiful movie and it has one of my favorite quotes in it...
"When you look for the bad in man-kind expecting to find it...you surely will."

Look for the good, and Enjoy!
