What's In A Name?

Well, you're probably wondering why the hell I would call my blog Thistles For Breakfast. Well, it comes from the Poem titled "The Ass" by C. S. Lewis. The basic idea is while most people would scoff at the idea of eating thistles for breakfast, if that's what an ass likes, who are we to complain.

I'm not advocating a hedonistic lifestyle, but I am saying we shouldn't be ashamed of what we enjoy as long as it's legal, doesn't hurt others and relatively moral, within your standards. So, if you like sitting up till all hours of the night eating Ben & Jerry's and watching The Soap Network, God bless you.

I could do the Ben and Jerry's, but no way on the Soaps! One of the things I treasure about living alone is I can do odd things and cater to myself. If I feel like singing to the cat, I do. If I, a middle-aged woman, want to play air guitar to a classic rock song, I do. And, while I probably won't have thistles for breakfast, I've been known to be a bit um... non-traditional in my food fare. Great title and I enjoy the reasoning behind it.
