Welcome to Litsy!

The bookworm saw her shadow - six more hours of reading 😄

I‘ve been surprised at how infrequently I think about the office now that I‘m retired. The people yes, but not the work. Except today! I used to say that #GroundhogDay was the official holiday, because of the tendency to do things over and over again. Especially the meetings! 🤦🏻‍♀️

I wish 😂 clearly he‘s not acquainted with winter where I live, we have snow days in April 🥶🤦🏻‍♀️❄️

I'm not sure what to post but then I found this picture on Pinterest and I like it. Happy Spring and Happy Phil❤

Here we already smell spring. Snow melted and is a little warm today.

"Winter slumbering in the open air, / Wears on his smiling face a dream of Spring!" - Phil Conners (and Samuel Taylor Coleridge)

When Phil‘s redemptive arch starts, it is mainly shown in his new appreciation and enjoyment of books. He reads poetry, quotes Coleridge and Chekhov, and then there‘s the beautiful moment when he‘s sitting by himself and looks around smiling after reading something amazing, like he wants to see if anyone else‘s world changed too.

I have definitely experienced that.

One idea in the Groundhog Day script that didn't make it into the final film was that each day Phil would go to the Punxsutawney Library and read a single page of a book and by the end he would have read every book in the library multiple times.

Hey! It was a garbage day! My littlest one is recovering from the flu and my wife got hit with it today.

But now my boys are asleep and I have made sure my wife has ready access to ginger ale, extra blankets, and Victoria on Netflix.

Time to spend some time with Phil.

Time for the annual viewing of #GroundhogDay! My hometown ☺️! Ever been to #Punxsutawney?!

3. San Francisco

Friday night film break. Still brilliant after all these years.

Phil saw his shadow this morning....lol....I hate winter! #groundhogsday #winter

We made it to #friyayintro!! (Anyone else feel like this week has been forever long?!)
1. Yes...from the comfort of my couch. Hopefully I make it to halftime! 😆
2. 30 F (🤞🏼 the groundhog calls for an early spring)
3. A Gentleman in Moscow (STILL! I feel like I‘ve been reading this for ages...but I‘m enjoying it, so I guess that‘s okay??)
4. Somewhere warm...and all inclusive 🍹🍹🍹
5. 🖐🏼👍🏼🙌🏼

Shamelessly promoting my hometown 😆! You know the holiday, you've seen the movie, and now you can watch the #Broadway play 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻!!! Some of my friends are pictured here, the #Punxsutawney Inner Circle. Kind of like the Illuminati or Council of 500, and their responsibility is controlling the weather--sorry Colorado 😜.

Today's #GroundhogDay 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻!!! Special day for me since I grew up in Punxsutawney for about 10 years 😊. I thought I'd show you where the man himself lives: the town library!!!! Thought my fellow Litsyans would like that factoid 😎🙌🏻! #LitsyLovesLibraries

I watch this movie every year on Groundhog Day! Which means my reading time will be short tonight... 🤔

Here's to an early spring!
