    I still remember the verse used as the wedding speech from Anne Morrow Lindberghs small book A Gift From the Sea.
    The only real security is not in owning or possessing, not in demanding or expecting, not in hoping, even. Security in a relationship lies neither in looking back to what it was, nor forward to what it might be, but living in the present and accepting it as it is now.

    According to Ed Zwick, the show wasn't canceled; it was just time to move on. They had accomplished what they set out to do and everyone involved was burned out. ABC was furious and threatened to sue. Zwick and his co-creator Marshall Herskovitz placated ABC by promising to do another show which ended up as, "My So-Called Life".

As always, they soon cancelled the series, and the last episode never aired in this country. The first episode was incredible, setting the mood for what was to follow, and the use of Loreena McKennitt's music throughout the series was perfection! ❤

    So sad that both the mothers struggled with wanting a career instead. Who the heck wants to be shackled to a desk and "have to please the customer" tasks all day? It's called "work" for a reason. Back then we lost the sanctity, purpose, and high status of the HIGHEST career for woman to have i.e. to be a mother...whether physical or spiritual. Bringing into the world a unique immortal soul and forming it into a virtuous and decent person who will shine light in this world and the next is a tremendous gift. God bless~

      This subject matter is why I loved this show! Educated women choosing to stay home with their children without being rich. Sacrifice for the very good of their children. Great role models for me. I don't regret staying home with my 3 children for 27 years (working part time) the time flies and I'm blessed that i was able to immerse myself in motherhood. 💕

    • @MMC-jp1gl
      @MMC-jp1gl 6 месяцев назад

      @@melissakokay3176 I agree with your sentiments i.e. sacrificing for the good of their children which all mothers should do. But they portrayed them as wanting careers instead and kind of himming and hawwing about staying at home. God bless you for staying at home...ALL mothers should (if they are financially able to). My point was that we have lost the idea of the infinite blessing and honor it is to be a wife and mother. We need to get that back:+) God bless~

    • @melissakokay3176
      @melissakokay3176 6 месяцев назад

      I don't think it portrayed them as wanting a career instead, or they would have done that. I believe it showed the struggle most mothers go through wanting to contribute some finances and using their education and wanting to care for their children which they showed how these mothers did just that. Again, they were role models for me to also juggle, use my education, contribute, keep stimulated and enjoy and take care of my children. I have the entire series on DVD and watch it about twice per year. God Bless you too. @@MMC-jp1gl

    Peter Horton tenure did not last the entire show 😞his Character "Gary" in episode "Gary Dies" was killed off the show long before its end. So Peter never finished out the show because his character, Gary had already died. Ironic i see this now because someone posted that episode on their site and for some reason it populated into my feed, then voila your site popped up next after i watch it. still hits like a ton of bricks that one did...perfectly cast ensamble...as well did you catch the sneak peak of another "Patricia" who would go on to play a comedians wife on his multi-star show many years later -- hint...everybody loves this guy! back when writing was superb....closest we've had since is West Wing, also good was the Dallas Reboot -- it too was more than exceptional in casting and writing, but man o man it ended way too soon.
