"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy."
-- Lewis Carroll, "Jabberwocky"
I've always liked that line, "O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!" In that one line, you can picture the wildly happy celebration that's going on about a good thing that came quite unexpectedly (in this extreme case, it came about out of a situation where it seemed like nothing good could happen).
I spend much of my time thinking, "I should blog more," but often don't get around to it, because I can't decide what to write about, or even if I know what I want to write about, I don't want to spend the time it would take to write a long post about it. Much of the time, the posts are about things that frustrate me or make my life more difficult in some way, and writing about them can actually be a second dose of frustration or difficulty.
That's why I'm going to have this, a different kind of blog from my normal blog. Let's see how this works, since I've never been a "glass half full" kind of person, mostly because I don't like water. I intend to post every day. The posts can be as short as they want to be, and they will all relate to (and remind me of) things that I find frabjous.
great idea (and i know what you mean about the effort it takes to get out a "real" blog post...)! love the frabjous blurbs so far :)
ReplyDelete@t: Thanks :) We'll see how well I keep up with it, but so far, I think that it is making me more conscious of good things, both because I am looking out for things to post, and because the act of writing them down reinforces them in my mind.
