Positive Attitude
A few nights ago I’m watching G-Men Never Forget while waiting for my wife’s shift to end so I can pick her up and I found myself marveling at how much you could see that Clayton Moore was enjoying himself playing in a serial. He exuded charm and charisma effortlessly though out. It made me think of his autobiography and how he seemed to enjoy working at Republic, even though he didn’t get paid a salary equal to stars like Basil Rathbone or George Sanders at more prestigious studios. This carried over to his work on The Lone Ranger, where he didn’t seem to mind the type casting, and continued having a career touring conventions and shows after the TV program had ended. He just seemed to be the kind of guy who didn’t lament the things that didn’t go the way he wanted and considered himself blessed for the what he did get. With the holidays approaching I think that is just the kind of attitude to have. Instead of being bitter about what I don’t have, I’m going to try and be thankful for what I do have, for at least until after New Years. Let’s be realistic, nobody can not not complain about something. But for a couple of weeks I’m going to try, I’m sure The Lone Ranger would approve.
