If you are like me, and not quite as literate a person as you would like to pretend to be, you will find it helpful that I had to look up the meaning of Virginia Woolf’s quote. “What a lark! What a plunge!” are the opening words to Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway. I think that Tarn Wilson describes it best:
“Dictionary.com defines lark as “a merry, carefree adventure; frolic; escapade.” A plunge is “a leap or a dive,” “a headlong or impetuous rush or dash.” Today, take your life less seriously. See your undertakings as playful adventures. Approach them with curiosity, a willingness to learn, and an appreciation of fun.”
Friends, it’s Friday!! Time to plunge into a lark!!! My regular readers know that I try to take a break from overthinking on Fridays. On “Favorite Things Friday“, I typically discuss three favorite things, books, songs, movies, food stuff, etc. of mine and I strongly encourage you to share your favorites in my Comments section. Please see previous Friday posts for more favorites to try and to enjoy.
Today, I am going out on a lark, and instead of listing more of my own favorites, I am going to force you to think about your own favorites. The hobbylark article linked below, asks 100 questions, about your favorite stuff, experiences, people, books, etc. I’ve copied the first two sections from the article to get your juices flowing, but you must click on the full article, in order to get the full list of questions. What better way to add to that wonderful Friday feeling, than pondering your own very special favorites, that make your heart go zing?!? These questions make wonderful conversation starters to get to know anyone better, including yourself. Enjoy and have a wonderful weekend!!
