Blogging Around

In response to Rebekah's Captured Thought post about her daily routine:

I'm pretty sure I understand what you mean. Our routines and repeated actions act as safe places for us. They put us in our comfort zone and we know what to expect. It is when we don't know what is to come or expect when we feel uncomfortable, and this is most likely what causes our bad days. Something out of the ordinary happens, which takes you out of your safe place. As much as everyone wants to 'take a chance' or 'live a little' or 'get out of their comfort zone,' we all really feel the safest in what we know.

In response to Fatiti's Best of Week post about reading The Cathedral:

Hi Fatiti! I'm going to have to disagree with you about your thoughts about the ending of this story. I am actually a fan of all cliffhangers in general because it leaves the ending open to your interpretation. It adds a mysterious quality, and allows you to draw your own conclusions. They make the story unique to your personal thoughts because you determine the ending. Sure, it is nice when stories end in neat little packages, but it's also nice when the story doesn't end when the text does.
