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.
