SoCS: Great. Just Great.

Today’s prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: ends with β€œgrate/great.” Use one or bonus points if you use them both. Enjoy!

I’m rarely sarcastic and not a fan of sarcasm, but the title to this post is sarcastic.

There’s a fly in the house hunting ointment. It’s a radon fly. I’m not sure I want to write about it yet. Doing research. Waiting for more results on the water. Going to the hills to visit my daughter and her motley crew. Planning to work on gratitude. I don’t want to be an ingrate. Probably need to make a gratitude list. The rustic, whimsical vrbo cabin is nice. Going to try to enjoy the weekend. Exploring…

I hope you enjoy your weekend, too.

Peace and Blessings….

JusJoJan#31: Facetious, Sarcastic, or Just Plain Silly with a Confession by Steve Martin

Today is the last day of Just Jot it January. I think I participated in all but a couple of days which is good for me. Thank you to our host Linda Hill for originating and organizing this annual event and thank you to Susan for today’s prompt: facetious.

Looking up the prompt, because I knew it meant funny, but wasn’t quite sure how, I found this definition:

“treating serious issues with deliberately inappropriate humor; flippant.”

Sometimes we need to be facetious so as to not take ourselves and the world too seriously. Humor is important. But we also have to be careful which serious issues we’re being facetious about.

I prefer facetious to sarcastic. Sarcasm often seems dishonest and confusing to me. Makes me wonder if I’m on some kind of a spectrum. Anyway, as I’ve mentioned before, my favorite kind of humor is silly, like Steve Martin. I remember watching him make this difficult confession on Johnny Carson in 1978. πŸ˜‰
