My lilacs are blooming, my hydrangeas are up. And the roses are budding! I am so ready for spring.

This word also has a chemistry related definition, used to describe the process of a substance loosing moisture and turning into a fine powder, but I like the first one better.

Mellifluous is also a pleasant word to say! I love that the Latin translates almost literally to 'flows like honey' 🍯

Mehso-so

The formatting of the book was pretty blah. I feel like the presentation could have been nicer. The categories of quotes made sense. I don‘t know much about publishing, so that was over my head. A lot of quotes on writing. More than reading.

This is a new word for me! #WeirdWordWednesday

abseil (ab-sale) - to go down a steep drop by a rope fastened at the top and tied around one's body.

Pronounced TUR-Shuh in Irish or TOOR-shuh in Scottish I think many of us are experiencing this in a deep way.

The antidote is to find joy, gratitude, etc.

My daughter sent me this link today and it was the perfect antidote. President Obama telling the story of one woman‘s voice energizing him, a room and a movement. Fire it up! Ready to go!

Deblovestoread Shout out to Edith Childs who was the woman who started it! 1w
TheBookHippie My grandson 11 asked me what to yell so people would yell back - So he hollered at the top of his voice “ TELL ME WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE” in a crowd of 3000 plus people the 200 closest to us replied “THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE.” A lady who was 92 in a wheelchair later stopped us to say she now had hope, because it was a child‘s voice and adults answered him. Yes I cried. I was a puddle. 1w
