Sadly, Oxford University Press’s 2018 official word of the year is “toxic.” Did they
judge too harshly?
There were many tragedies over the year through which sprang much compassion, generosity, and warmth.
Wouldn’t “thankfulness” for the gentleness of people and their actions, who are not toxic,
been a kinder selection? Feel free to comment below, or in a private email: LinDee

With that in mind, let’s not focus on the noxious,
choosing instead, to carry this week’s annual words, thoughts, deeds of
gratitude and appreciation into the New Year, with …
THANKFULNESS (thaŋkʹfɘl nɘs) n. – state, quality, or instance of
being … feeling or expressing thanks; grateful. [WW #191]
No, this certainly isn’t an unknown or obscure
word, but it is often overlooked and taken for granted. This season, explore
the true meaning of thankfulness
for what you have, rather than what is perceived as lacking. You’ll likely be
pleasantly surprised and enjoy a much happier Holiday Season.
And, what better way to begin a New Year? Thankful for that which brought you to another new
beginning, and
Word Challenge: THANKFULNESS. We can’t help but
think about it while going about our Thanksgiving and Christmas Holiday Season.
How do you feel about it? Ponder, as you fit thankfulness into your
week of appreciative writings.
Learning knows no prejudices or boundaries, and it isn’t fattening!
Expanding your mind is a no-cost, simple joy. Do you feel that way too? What’s your
inspiration? Share your creative genius and Wordplay
