Who and What is the Happy Warrior

The Happy Warrior is the title of a poem... and yes, I love this poem. I do not wish to be mischaracterized, for the most part poetry is not my bag. I am not an afficionado of literature nor am I a metro-sexual (I despise that term) but a dear friend introduced me to this masterpiece of prose several years ago... it has provided no end of inspiration. The Happy Warrior by William Wordsworth outlines the qualities of a magnificent soul. I aspire to possess even one or two characteristics that "every man in arms should wish to be."


This blog is a representation, in conversational form, of my voyage to wrap my arms around the world in which Mr. Worsdworth's warrior finds happiness.

Wacky Wednesday: Christmas traditions

Christmas time is filled with happy traditions like..... scaring the hell out of little children by putting them on the lap of some total stranger with physical features unlike anything they have ever seen. How this becomes the most anticipated and joyful time of the year for these little ones I am not sure.



And then of course we will emphasize the seriousness of NEVER associating with, speaking to or cuddeling up with strangers.

  2. I think this is a total rite of passage for every child. There is a short, short period of time when kids aren't terrified of Santa and want to sit on his lap. That was our Chase this year. He was so excited!! I hope the excitement lasts until at least next year before someone bursts his happy bubble. :)
