A Word A Day, Keeps the Baby Brain Away
I’m all for a bit of self-improvement. While there is quite a bit to improve, I’m currently concentrating on what was formally know as my brain. I’d now describe it as some thing akin to mush. It certainly functions - I can do all the important things, just (thank you Dr. Kawashima), but I still reach the top of the stairs wondering what started me on my climb, and more than frequently struggle to remember a word.
This is where the fabulous Anu Garg and his website, Wordsmith, come in.
Every morning I’m greeted by my word du jour sitting expectantly in my inbox. Based on a weekly theme, there begins the education of this soft celled Mother. My own challenge is then to set about using said word, or phrase, in conversation. Not so easy with “lex talionis“, particularly when the main body of your discourse for the day is with a 2 year old. However mission successfully completed. Just don’t ask me how - suffice to say I was taking the moral high ground.
Today I’ve got to squeeze ‘Darby and Joan‘ into a conversation. Thank the Lord, I’m having lunch with my parents.
