--Aesop (Fabulist)
Still trying to keep up with acts of kindness. The Goob has decided that it is okay to do more than one kind act a day, but you can not bank them. As in, yesterday's second kindness can not count as today's kindness. Being kind is a little more challenging than I first anticipated. So today I set out to do a small thing: Hold my tongue. And trust me, it is keeping me busy. But I offer you two more small kindnesses.
1. I offer you the definition of
| fabulist (ˈfæbjʊlɪst) | |
| — n | |
| 1. | a person who invents or recounts fables |
| 2. | a person who lies or falsifies |
Use this in a sentence? She is such a fabulist. Say it with a smile and it may be a kind way to call someone a liar. I mean, she is a fabulist on the order of Aesop!
(Sadly, I can not offer you the pronunciation. ˈfæbjʊlɪst ??)
2. I share another peek at the decking of my halls.
Remember that I do NOT collect flamingos. But I have to admit...
one or two flamingos in a palm tree are a welcome sight on a snowy day.
And since we're decorating our house plants--how about some flower bulbs?
(Can you believe someone was throwing these away?)
So the question of the day remains: Can we believe anything attributed to Aesop?

I was so so close to buying you another flamingo ornament but I know you don't collect them. Two may be just a coincidence but three could be considered a collection. Although, the palm tree may have a few empty fronds just waiting for a flamingo... Be very careful when you open the package I'm sending your way...
