...My "Question" For Saturday Surprise
If the message in my journal page sounds like Greek to you, then you're on the right track. Grab your Bullfinch, or even better, your Edith Hamilton, or if you must, then try your luck at Wikipedia (sometimes they get it right), and refresh your knowledge of the classics. One story in particular: Sisyphus.
If you find that it's still too difficult to read even when you click to enlarge, here's what it says:
"You know what will happen if I start talking about my most frustrating experience ever, I'll just start recalling all those other times, and before you know it, I'll remember where I am, and that I used to be the King of Corinth, and how lovely things were before I saw the eagle and I tried to help get Aegina back, but all that happened was that I succeeded in getting Zeus pissed-off which resulted in my being here with this big red ball--it never was a rock like they tell you in the stories--and this hyper little dog who keeps kicking it back down on top of me whenever I try to push it back up. I remember my old name, but in this world they call me Barbara, and I am no longer a king, I am now a Mother."
Regardless of what you may be thinking, this is not as depressing and fatalistic as it appears on the surface. Look for the humor. It's in there, hiding.
Right now I'm off to:
Meet friends
Relax a little
And later tonight:
Draw a little
Watch NCIS and
Read myself to sleep
Have a great day, Everyone!
