My Favorite Word
Wordsmiths – those who are masters of choosing the proper words and phrases to get a message across know the value of language. Remember the old adage, “Sticks and stones may break your bones, but names will never hurt you!” Well, I think we are now old enough to know that there is something severely lacking in that saying. Words have the capacity to hurt and more importantly words can bring healing and hope. Is there a word that captures who you are or who you desire to be? Is there a word that energizes you? My favorite English word is “enthusiasm.” To me “enthusiasm” conveys energy, engagement and fun. “Enthusiasm” is a compilation of two Greek words, “en” which means “to be filled with” and “theos” which means “God’. Isn’t that interesting? “Enthusiasm” means to be “filled with God.” Great word – greater daily practice.
