I have never been boisterous in my life. Even saying the word feels foreign on my tongue. Have I been ecstatic, happy, thrilled, impatient, giddy even? Of course. But boisterous, to me, implies a level of letting go, of freedom of expression that I never really allow myself. Perhaps because I might feel out of control, and for me that would be most uncomfortable. Please do let me know if you ever catch me being boisterous so I can commit it to memory.

Now go out and have a boisterous day, if you dare; and don’t let the blustery weather keep you down!
The light keeps trying to break through….

Okay, this may have been as close to boisterous as I’ve gotten in years. 👏🏻
Agreed. I don’t get boisterous either. To me it seems too out of control and I never want to be that. Maybe I get a little boisterous at a baseball game when we are scoring runs but it is never for any great length of time. Cute picture 🙂

By the way, Dan informed me that you are going reawaken Domhan. It was a good thing to hear on 1st of the year. I can go back Domhan any time.

Giddy works – I’m not normally boisterous but the Editor and the cats tell me I make too much noise, particularly in the morning.
Have a wonderful day!

Haha! I think of Scrooge when the word giddy comes up. To me it means “drunk with happiness”. Hope your day is terrific Dan. And Thanks.
