Another surprise for me / 我入圍2006年第二屆全球華文部落格生命紀錄類決賽

最近生活裡發生了一連串的偶然,不免覺得自己真是幸運。上個月不知怎麼地看到中時的部落格大賽,一時興起,把表格填一填,送出之後,便把整件事拋諸腦後。事隔數週,收到入選決賽的通知,還真是一陣驚喜。

雖然我叛逆的基因直懇求,請我不要用老掉牙的感謝稿,但是我想不出來更有新意的方式。小房間,讓我對夢想的追求更義無反顧;寄出的明信片,紛紛抵達收件者的心底;我平凡的生命因而充滿了期待和希望。我不是信徒,但我要謝謝上帝,我自己,還有,一直回來的你。

There have been a chain of "hasards ou coincidences" in my banal life lately. I can't but exclaim that the goddess of Fortune really smiles upon me. Last month, I happened to see this Chinese blog contest held by Chinatimes (newspaper). It occurred to me that I should fill out the form. After I sent it out, I totally left it behind. This week, I was quite surprised to receive the notice that I had been chosen as one of the candidates for the final.

The rebellious side in me kept protesting that I shouldn't write the old-fashioned kind thank-you note. However, I can't think of a more creative idea. Since I started the little room, I've been even firmer about my dream, which is to become an illustrator. And I believe the postcards I make have reached your hearts at one point or another. My ordinary life is thus full of expectations and hope. I am not a religious person, but I want to thank God, myself, and you, who keep coming back to my little room...

Miragee,

Congratulations. But you know it is no great surprise to me. Your skills as an illustrator have increased substantially, and I have no doubt you will keep going. I applaud your commitment to becoming an illustrator.

I don't think there is anything wrong, or particularly old-fashioned, about writing a thank you note. It goes to my theory of balance and harmony - good energy out, good energy in. Or, what goes around comes around.

You have reached many hearts, if mine is any example, through your blog - both words and illustrations.

Work and be happy in the work.
