In which it is Monday

which usually means re-posts from the original Blog A Go-Go, but today I thought I'd share a link I found yesterday to an extraordinary blog entry at The Word Cellar. It is the webby home of Jennifer McGuiggan, freelance editor and writer, and the topic is envy as inspiration. (And I think I have just this minute decided to make Mondays "Seven Deadly Sins Day" and blog about lust, envy, pride, etc. for the next seven weeks. Wouldn't THAT be fun?) Anyway, envy is one of those prickly things we don't like to talk about. It's ugly and misshapen and we shove it to the back of the closet under clothes that no longer fit us and toys we have broken. In this entry, Jennifer drags it into the light and dusts it off and puts it to work--a genius idea and a very good reminder that someone else's success doesn't mean there's less for YOU.
