resolute

I am miserable at New Year's resolutions. So I guess a vow to return to posting regularly will have to coincide with another holiday. Today's (January 8th's) options include:

National Joygerm Day

Saint Gudula Feast Day (Christian)

Show & Tell Day at Work

Birthday - Elvis Presley Birthday (singer)

Midwife's Day/Women's Day (Greece)

So .... not a lot to choose from. Maybe Show & Tell Day is the most appropriate? Not really at work, but whatevs. Hmm, Saint Gudula Feast Day. I always like a feast. Midwife's/Women's Day? Totally appropriate, but I'm neither in Greece or Greek. Plus, all talk of midwives makes me feel guilty because of Ainsley's drug-riddled, western-medicine-stoked birth.

So this is what a joygerm is:

"The joygerm finds its origin in happy people and spreads with verbal or physical contact with another person. You might have the joygerm if you have symptoms of delight, high spirits, joie de vivre, and a smile on your face, or something worse…the ability to laugh and feel/express glee. A person can affect another in the following ways: a hug, kiss, love letter, compliment, or any unexpected act of compassion."

Maybe spreading the joygerm could be my secondary Show-&-Tell-Saint-Gudula-Elvis-Greek Midwife's Day Resolution.

Gaaaah! So anyway, we're back.
