Clarissa's Blog

I have now realized that reading a person’s blog on a regular basis can give one very deep insights into the author’s personality. Here is an example.

A reader of this blog traveled to a far-away country and, being an exceptionally kind and generous person, got me a gift. This gift turned out to be a beautiful scarf.

What this reader cannot possibly know (because they never met me) is that I adore scarves and shawls. I have a collection of them and special hangers to house all of them. What’s more, I’ve spent years telling everybody in sight how much I want a scarf precisely from the far-away country where this reader got me the scarf.

I just did a search of my blog and there is nothing about my scarf collection on it. So this was pure inspiration on the reader’s part.

You’ll say this is a coincidence but I think this is more than that. Careful readers perceive hidden qualities of my personality from my writing.

Thank you, dear reader! I totally dig this gift.
