I know, I am a big sentimental mush. Every year I cry my eyes out watching It's a wonderful Life. This year I think for totally different reasons then in the past.
For half or more of the movie I just could not help to think how much of what George Bailey's "Doing the right thing" so coincides with how much and how often I, and I am sure many others, felt trapped into exactly the same "having to do the right thing" mindset. Much of this past year or so I have been looking back over my life decisions, and the consequences. The movie had much more of a special meaning to me then ever before.
