Swimming daytime owl / 白天游泳的貓頭鷹


每天寄一張明信片給吉吉三年了,多半是在清晨神智不清的塗鴉,有時候丟到郵筒還隱約覺得羞愧,總是在寄了一整年之後,我們會翻出來回顧,這是我最喜歡的時刻,我最常說:「這是我畫的嗎?」同時內心有種強烈的震撼,「原來我的人生有這麼多有趣的片段!」

I've been sending a postcard to Shaggy a day for three years. In fact, I draw the postcards mostly in the early morning when I am still sleepy and groggy. I sometimes feel kind of ashamed of the crude drawings as I throw them into the post box. We have got into the ritual of reviewing the postcards as we wrap up a year, and that is my favorite moment. My classic line is, "Did I draw that?" Meanwhile, I feel overwhelmed with the discovery that my everyday life is filled with so many fascinating moments and ideas. 

        下雨的週末咖啡館裡,一打開門有兩張期待的臉迎接我,吉吉和朋友郁馨提議把明信片放到網路上,接下來我們就開始一連串的行動,這中間還有行銷學的介紹和教學,頓時我們苦悶的人生都有了出口!

     On the rainy Saturday evening, as I open the door to the cafe, I am greeted with two expectant faces. Shaggy and Yu-shin propose that we start a webpage to share the postcards. Soon everyone takes up their smartphones and gets down to work. At the same time, we take our first lesson in marketing. Our rainy life suddenly lights up! 

        看似相同的一週又開始了,但我的生活多了一些可能性!

     Another seemingly similar week has started, but I feel there're more possibilities for me!
