Discipline
One of my favorite repeating phrases in Louis Sachar's Sideways Stories from Wayside School is "she wrote his name on the board under the word 'Discipline,'" for any of the children who had been bad. I think I need my name under the word "Discipline" for a while.
Why is it we tend to see disciplinary action as a bad thing? I need to lead a disciplined life, one of order rather than chaos, one of rigor rather than looseness. Dieting is discipline. Speech is discipline.
Blogging is discipline.
So here's to having my name on the board under the word "Discipline."
