Fine

Last year a friend and I decided to get rid of the word "fine" when asking each other how we were. That worked for a little while, but I noticed it slowly crept its way back in our vocabulary. It's the word so many of us use when describing how we're doing. The wordsmith in me can think of eight zillion other words to describe how I feel and yet, you know "fine" makes its way right on into my conversation. It's such an interesting word to think about, isn't it?

Yesterday, my mission was to smile at everyone I saw. I am delighted to share I accomplished this. The return smiles in and out of the A&P made it totally worthwhile.

Today, my mission will be about using any word other than fine to describe how I am. Some words that comes to mind at this exact instant are recharged, anticipatory, excited, hopeful, blessed. 

I have been working on the next phases of TGHR and preparing myself for the actual "business" part of this. It's exciting and scary all at the same time.

Kind of like life...

What's YOUR word?
It's a brand new day.
The sun is shinning.
It's a brand new day.
For the first time in such a long, long time
I know I'll be okay.

Music today ~ it would not be a lie to say I listened to more than 20 songs last night prepping for today. I experienced many different emotions while listening. This song won because in the end, I totally love the lyrics. The songs speaks of the moon, which as we all know is full and blue (according to some, others say the next blue moon isn't until 2015...), it speaks of emotions, it speaks of the brand new day and what each new day can bring each of us. I hope it brings you something better than fine.

OH - and for the record, Aerosmith wrote a song in 1989 entitled F.I.N.E. There is an amusing read on Wikipedia about it HERE. Not to be outdone, Urban Dictionary is also amusing - click HERE.
