It is “Steam of Consciousness Saturday time again. This week’s prompt is “enthuse.” It can be used with a prefix or suffix. I was trying to think of a prefix but could not come up with one so I’ll go with the original and suffixes. If you would like to join in go to Linda Hill’s site and learn more. Here is the link http://lindaghill.com/2015/08/07/the-friday-reminder-and-prompt-for-socs-august-815/ Here is my interpretation of the prompt.
Enthuse by John W. Howell © 2015
“All right team we are going to practice our enthusiasm today.”
“Oh goody, I just love to enthuse before lunch.”
“Who said that?”
“I did.”
“So what’s wrong with enthusiasm? We all need it sometimes.”
“Oh, nothing is wrong with enthusiasm. I just don’t think it is something you can just gin up at will. You either are enthused, or you’re not. You can’t make it up.”
“Nonsense. Enthusiasm is like any other emotion. You can practice being enthusiastic and before you know it you are enthused.”
“I’m sorry I just don’t believe its right.”
“ENTHUSE.”
“Wait. You scared me.”
“Do it.”
“Yay.”
“Bigger. Put your heart into it.”
“Yay?”
“Come on you wimp. Push it.”
“Yay!”
“Better. One more time with gusto.”
“YAY!!”
“Now you are talking. You sound enthusiastic. How do you feel?”
“Enthused sir.”
“Now that’s what I’m talking about now. Carry on enthusiastically.”
“Yes, sir. May I be excused?”
“Excused? What for may I ask?”
“I want to prevent enthuse in my pants, sir.”

Good reason to be excused. Also, I kept thinking of how cheerleaders can turn enthusiasm on and off.

Reading this, my head was filled with Roger Miller’s “You can’t roller skate in a buffalo herd”.
Why?
If I had any idea how my mind worked, I could possibly take control of it and tame it. As it is…

I do like the song and as strange as it seems I understand how your mind got there.

I’m reminded of the old joke “the beatings will continue until morale improves” – I can see this person John (which is kind of scary). Have a great weekend.
