Miss Tickle

yes

we know "reader" is singular

and

there are prolly a plethora

(an abundance, an excess)

of readerS out there but

give Miss Tickle a pause to refresh


remember this :

the way of the Improvaho is

the Path of Surprise

the challenge of the Walkabout

is maintaining the sense of adventure

so it doesnt become an ordeal


the purpose of the ordeal

is to reassess your prioritiease


Ordeal :  from the 4th grade dictionary

"an ancient method of trial by fire"

(scare the kiddies !)

from American Heritage :

"a difficult or painful experience,

esp. one that severely tests character

or endurance"


here we are 2 years and 5 months after the

chance encounter with the CheeZit crumb

wherein Skaterina deemed cancer was both

a Challenge and a Gift

it is now also an Ordeal !

Skaterina decided writing a blog

would help her process all the aspects

related to challenges, gifts, and ordeals

Miss Tickle was chosen from the multiphrenia

to "do the blog"

so Miss Tickle came away from her day job

well, her day and night, 24 hours, job, to

tell about Skaterina and how she was solving her problems

setting her drum on automatic pilot, donning her pointy hat

Miss Tickle threw herself into the blog

she was quite tickled, smile, well tickled pink, maybe even

pickled tink

to be chosen for such a public enterprise

we stress once more that the blog is for and about

Skaterina

and it is not a "normal" blog

it is upside down

nor is it written to encourage

reader or readers to participate

with long comments and raucous comment threads
