A MAN NAMED PEARL

The Fancy and I watch documentaries often. I have been meaning for a long while to write down a list of my favorites because I am hoping that you watch a couple that then become your favorites too.  On Saturday,  I did something very indulgent for me, I watched a documentary during the day--gasp.  I never do anything so lax. My days are always planned to the 'nth second, so to get up and decide to do nothing is quite unlike me.  I chose to watch A Man Named Pearl, oh I am so glad that I did.  For those that feel they are too old, that they have no idea what they want to do when they 'grow up', are stuck in dead end jobs, please watch this documentary.  Pearl found his passion and then the accolades and opportunities followed.  This man worked 12 hours a day at a job for 36 years and still came home every night and worked on his passion (garden) from 6 p.m. to 1a.m. in the morning!  Don't you want to feel that in life?  A drive so irresistible that you can't wait to partake?  What was his wife's take on this?  She said, 'If Pearl is happy, I am happy."  I couldn't be more enamored with this film.
