“Always end the name of your child with a vowel, so that when you yell the name will carry.” Bill Cosby
Apparently, being bodacious began for me at a very early age, because Bill Cosby’s quote fit perfectly for my growing up years!
Either that or I had that common hearing condition which plagues most children… I am sure you know it, the dreaded Selective Hearing Syndrome.
Why the name topic, you ask? Well, my Bodacious and Fearless Leader has put the task before her minions to talk about what is in a name, namely my name!
Why were you given your name?
This is an easy one, I was named after my mother, who was named after a relative (not her mother, but rather a beloved aunt), and I in turn did likewise with my first born. We all share Kathryn in our name.
Practice meditation regularly. Meditation leads to eternal bliss. Therefore meditate, meditate – Swami Sivananda.
In search of bliss, one can easily overlook the steps to get there… namely the meditation part.
So here’s to the fine are of meditation, and the practice thereof, and just in time for Lent.
Now, I probably should tell you that I have a long way to go to achieve Meditation Excellence. My meditation skills are in the Meditation Failure Category, honestly.
I long have been a fan of Mr. Olbermann for varied reasons, however when I found this quote on imgfave.com today it gave me a completely new level of adoration for him.
Therefore, I am starting week with renewed vigor on a number of fronts.
Here is to a week filled with a smarter class of people!
Apparently, I am less than bodacious than I thought since I find myself “theme song-less” and more than that, I am clueless as to what I should even pick for a theme song!
So the question becomes, does having a theme song (or the lack thereof) increase (or decrease, as it were) ones bodacious-ness or does it just not matter at all.
Truthfully, for me, life without music would be very empty existence.
However, does one need a theme song with which they identify?
I would like to think that I my life is not easily defined by one song.
Truthfully, my music choices change daily with my mood. From Beethoven to Mraz and everything in between – my tastes run the gamut.
However, StevoFC recently shared with me an incredibly talented new musician, Steve Moakler, and while it is not a theme song… it is great for Valentines Weekend.
In my on-going search for employment, today entered a new phase. I applied a couple of weeks ago for a “relief rural carrier” (i.e. substitute mail carrier) with the United States Post Office.
Yes, that United States Post Office!
After filling out their extensive and exhausting application, progressed to an “online personality evaluation” – that would be a one hundred and eighty-question personality evaluation. A friend warned me to answer, “Ask your supervisor” for any questions in which I might have my own opinion about!
I must have answered correctly because a few days after that I received an email to inform me that my next step was to schedule my “postal exam” within the next ten days.
