One of my favorite movies is What About Bob. Whenever I come across it, I can't help myself. I have to take in a few minutes of it. There are lots of movies I do this to. In the movie Bob Wiley (Bill Murray), a man with lots fears, sees a psychiatrist (Richard Dreyfuss), who has just published a new book called Baby Steps. From that point on Bob is forever, it seems, uttering the mantra "Baby steps, baby steps, baby steps...", whenever his life gets complicated. It's a pretty hilarious flick. However, in this sometimes complicated, zany, 'go, go, go world' we find ourselves in these days, it's not a bad, simple utterance to have at the ready.
Sometimes, when you just have to slow the entire mechanism down a bit, 'baby steps' ain't a bad way to start.
Good advice!
ReplyDeleteI like Bill Murray - will have to look for this film!
ReplyDeleteGreat reminder for us here today, thanks, Birdman. And thanks for that hilarious comment on Portland Oregon Daily Photo today. It's perfect-o in its wording and in the unexpectedness factor!
ReplyDeletelol I cannot watch this film. It makes me nuts.
ReplyDeleteThe colors of the leaves really add to the photo.
ReplyDeleteDo yor remember the old Comedy Central show Short Attention Span Theater? A favorite of mine on many levels and maybe a metaphor for why I don't do baby steps well.
ReplyDeleteNever saw the movie but it sounds like perhaps a good one. Movies today are losing their worth -- they seem to be rather simplistic. -- barbara
