FAVORITE WORDS

JANUARY 21, 2025

 

This was a chilly day. Well, chilly for these parts.  It was a good day for what I call rummaging.
 

Rummaging through old files, albums, recipe books.  Looking for nothing in particular. Finding plenty to make me smile, recall an occasion, decide I must bake MawMaw’s corn bread.
 

Today my rummaging uncovered a game I used to play when I was stalled, waiting for someone or something.  Like most brain games, it was a form of learning. The goal was to write down as many words as possible in the time I had. 
 

I came across my always handy notebook, and the heading on one page said: Words I like to use, continued.  Of course, I checked the old list. 
 

I found words like Dignity. Different. Gossamer. Delicious. Dream. Think. Baby. Hugs. Dance. Emerge … more than 100 words.  It must have been a long wait.
 

The chosen words I observed were, for the most part, happy or hopeful.  I did not find the words Money.  Greedy.  Revenge. Cheat.  Of course, I do speak those words – but my game was Words I LIKE to use.
 

Perhaps on my next rummaging day I’ll find the earlier pages.  In the meantime, I enjoyed this challenge more than Wordl.   I’ll be doing it again.
 

Favorite words? Try it.  Bet you’ll like it.
