“Originality does not consist in saying what no one has ever said before, but in saying exactly what you think yourself.”
James Stephens

So, I am taking a blogging class, and the main reason for that is because I want to learn about WordPress. So our first lesson is to set up a blog on wordpress.com. And this caused me to think (ugh, who really wants to do that?). What could I call my blog that was unique to me and about me? What could I share that anyone would give a crap about? And so I thought and thought, and I could hear in my head the nickname my three dearest friends call me. Judester. And, of course, that name is already being used, so The Original Judester was born. Because my friends have been calling me Judester for nearly 30 years. And if that’s not original, I don’t know what is. The name led me to the James Stephens quote above, which has given me a goal. I will do my very best to say exactly what I think, even if it’s hard. And I will seek out and share everyday joy with anyone who cares to read this.
