Dyslexia, Enthusiasm, Infectious, Silliness

–This blog post is brought to you by the scheduling power of WordPress–

I’m a little silly. Okay, sometimes I’m silly a lot.

But I swear, this little thought arose innocently from my rather mild but sometimes amusing dyslexia.

Alright, I don’t actually have a diagnosis of dyslexia, but I do tend to get words and numbers around the wrong way with incredible frequency!

So, the other day I was rambling on and meant to say: Your enthusiasm is infectious

But what came out instead, was: Your infection is enthusiasm

And I thought. Hmmm, how wonderful would it be, if we could be infected with positive things?

If, instead of infection being associated with unpleasantness, it was the other way around… just imagine! You could be infected with…

  • Happiness
  • Love
  • Enjoyment
  • Loyalty
  • Self-esteem
  • Confidence
  • Friendship
  • Comfort
  • Wisdom
  • Contentment

What else?

For those cynics amongst you, don’t worry, this blog aint about to turn into some shiny-bug-eyed-light-and-lovey epistle with animated gifs of doves and rainbows flying outta the page or anything… okay?

Just… a momentary thought passing, that was observed and toyed with briefly for my amusement.

And I thought I’d share.

Namaste, all.

P.S. Right about now, I’m soaking up the utter joy of hanging with some of my bestest friends. Getting lots of hugs, too. And in a couple of hours, I’ll be meeting up with the rest of my yogi crew for dinner before the beginning of our training (officially bright ‘n’ early Monday morning).
