I didn't know the flower never wilts either!
HA! I'm no word queen - I feel far from it with my simple vocabulary, but I'll be better from all the words we're going to learn. I signed up for a couple of online dictionary word of the day e-mails and also saved some I found from pinterest for days when I already know the words they choose. |

Here's a prime example - I didn't know there was a word for this. I would have just said a wreath of flowers on her head.
anadem
[ an-uh-dem ] noun
a wreath or garland of flowers worn on the head
"An anadem is a delicate wreath or garland of flowers worn on the head — think of it as nature's tiara. This poetic term has Greek roots and was first recorded in the late 1500s. It's a fitting word for spring!" |

xanthic
[ zan-thik ] adjective
of or relating to a yellow or yellowish color
"Xanthic is a vivid adjective used to describe something yellow or yellowish. Its roots lie in a Greek word meaning "yellow" — think sunflowers, mustard, or goldfinches. It's a zesty splash of color for your vocab!" |

| They say you must use a word 10-15 times to become familiar and part of your vocabulary. Some of these I would like to try that. |

Me too! I'm going to start a little notebook with fun words to remember.
And here I've just been saying "my belly is talking." This sounds way more sophisticated LOL! |

Hmmm…I wonder if my doctor knows that word, lol.
If my tummy rumbles while I’m there, I’ll put my hands on my stomach and say
“Oh my, borborygmus” hahaha |

We have rain today, finally. After weeks of drought. Indeed, there is peace and I love the way it sounds, smells, moves the trees and dances on our pond! |

Ecumenical - representing a number of different Christian Churches.
"Once inside that mournful ecumenical cave, I sat alone on one of the benches trying to hyperventilate myself into some tears the way a toddler was doing in line at the store last night, begging for marshmallows." - Ross Gay, Book of Delights. In this case, Gay is referring with irony to his underwhelming experience in the Rothko Chapel in Houston. Side note: Rothko spent his formative years in a chedar (Jewish primary school) but abandoned the religion after his father's death and rejected the label of "Jewish artist."

librate
[ lahy-breyt ] verb
to remain poised or balanced
"To librate is to to remain poised or balanced. Rooted in Latin, this word describes moments of just-right equilibrium. Great for tightrope walkers, decision-makers, and anyone juggling life with style and grace."
I am going to try and librate more! Style and grace tend to escape me when juggling life sometimes LOL! |

Since I missed yesterday because I was watching Christmas movies and baking cookies to celebrate our anniversary I'll post one more to keep on track:
insouciance
noun | in-SOO-see-unss
"What It Means
Insouciance is a formal word that refers to a feeling of carefree unconcern. It can also be understood as a word for the relaxed and calm state of a person who is not worried about anything."
I think I can use a little more insouciance in my life!
