Day 219: I hadn't planned to post this one today, but due to recent news events I feel it's probably more appropriate than what I was going to write about. I received several notes, texts and other notifications alerting me to some distressing news. Evidently Harrison Ford has been in a plane crash. He survived, but is injured. Today my Happy post is about my long-time original "obsession": the timeless, fabulous, wonderful, handsome and delicious actor Harrison Ford. I fell hard for Mr. Ford when I was a teenager. I don't quite know which movie it was that pushed me over the edge from admiration to adoration, but it's been going strong for a long time. Pictured here is one of the two shelves I have pretty well dedicated to Harrison: this of course pays homage to Indiana Jones, the other shelf is mostly all Star Wars. At the peak of my obsession I owned 32 of his then 36 films. The first movie during which I probably fell for him was likely "Witness". He was amazing in that one, and that movie was also the only one that he has been nominated for an Academy Award (Best Actor). I love that Harrison usually plays the good guy...boy he threw me for a loop in "What Lies Beneath"...and I used to really love his simplistic family values...how he would almost "shun" Hollywood in favour of a quiet private life. When I was sixteen I was so smitten with the man that I sent him a birthday card, and he sent me and autographed photo in return (not the one pictured here). Yes, Harrison and I go way back. I was so upset to hear about his accident this evening, and understand his son has released a statement that his dad is banged up some, but he's all right. I'm so relieved. Not bad for a plane crash, Harrison. Glad it wasn't worse. You just take care and be easy now. Heal up soon. We need you for the upcoming Star Wars pictures. Sending lots and lots of good, healing thoughts to Harrison Ford...my Happy yesterday, today, and always. #HarrisonFord #theforceisstrongwiththisone #365happydays
