Word Project

In honor of today, Valentine is the perfect word, a little three-syllable gift that means I don’t have to think of a word at all. It doesn’t even have any calories.

I want to talk about wine. Wine is quite possibly the most perfect thing ever invented. Here's what's so great about wine.

All I wanted to do today was think happy thoughts. I like the word meandering, it implies a pleasant aimlessness. So my brain is meandering today.

Today gets the Most Improved Camper award. It wasn't particularly good, but it was so thankfully nothing bad that in the end it was better. And that's something I will take every time.

I want to curl up in bed and stay there and stay there and stay there, but wait! I have a word project. And the word is done. Today was torture, and now I'm done.

I felt worn out today. That's the phrase. Worn out, like parts of you have been rubbed off to reveal the stuffing beneath. And then I had a conversation with my mother about old clothes. That's when my word chose itself.

Not only did we spontaneously decide to get out and do something new and fun today, but I spontaneously ditched my original word in favor of this one.

A word found me today when a box got delivered to my door. For once, it wasn't to me, from me, via Amazon Prime. It was a bucket of Hello Kitty, and a lovely thoughtful gift that inspired this post.

It's very easy to get caught up in whatever is happening without really noticing what's happening. That's why today's word was "pause." Just cold-stopping whatever you're doing to pay attention to what's right in front of you.

It seems that I made a mistake on a prior blog. Today I make an effort to correct that.
