*I do exercises from the book, Achieve Anything in Just One Year by Jason Harvey. This is Day 107.

What is your definition of Enthusiasm – What does it mean to you?*

 

Most recently I felt this with joining the Supernatural fandom. I didn’t actually join it as much as hold on tight as it dragged me along.

I ate, slept, and breathed it. I wrote and I thought and I discussed. And I laughed! Oh my G-d, I laughed and of course, I cried. Fuck you writers. You know who you are and what you did!

This is the embodiment of enthusiasm. The excitement, the pulse quickening, the sweat beading, the building and building of something not tangible until it is, grabbing onto something to stop the room from spinning, the spiritual.

It is little things and so much more. It is quiet and roaring sound, a raging river over a waterfall and the quiet below the surface.

For me, it’s writing and traveling and waking up at five in the morning to birds singing, it’s children’s laughter, my children’s laughter, the best sound in the world. It’s the long forgotten click clacking of a typewriter’s keys. It’s the smell of rain. It’s lilacs and hyacinth. It’s the perfect yellow of a daffodil. It’s a few of my favorite things.
