hmmm…..
Used to be that the Academy Awards were the only show on television in which stars were recognized for their talent and their fame. We faithfully watched them in late April wondering if our favorites would succeed in winning the golden statuette. We even had Academy Awards parties, dressing up and serving fancy foods to mark the occasion.
But nowadays, there are so many awards shows that the magic and the glamour of the Academy Awards has all but faded away.
I still like watching them, though. I like to see if I agree with the Academy on who was the best actor, who was the best director and who had the best picture. The ladies still dress up in gorgeous gowns and even the guys are all spiffed up. The acceptance speeches are interesting, too. Some will always stand out in my mind, like Sally Field saying, “You like me, right now you like me!”
As a little girl, I always thanked my parents and my friends for supporting me when I dreamed of accepting the award. And isn’t it pretty much everyone’s dream to be acknowledged and accepted for the achievements they have made in their lifetime?
So, today, why not give someone you love their own special award, like maybe Best Spouse, or Best Daughter or Best Parent? How about Best Friend, Best Boss or even, maybe Best Pastor? It doesn’t have to include a gold statuette, just a handshake or a hug acknowledging the fact that they enrich your life. Say, “Thank you for being in my life” to someone you love today.
