Stella’s comment garnered a sideways glance from Darren who all but spit out his tongue. The look said, ‘what the hell’ since they’d agreed this wasn’t the time to broach the subject. He dropped his head in resignation. That’s Stella he thought. Always the unexpected.
Fundamental
I have a thought-provoking question for you. What do you consider fundamental in life? Some would say a strong work ethic, others, personal growth, willingness to change, and still others, values and principles. Some would say finding your purpose or quality relationships.
Antecedent
It’s my son’s birthday today. For years the running joke was “when did you get old, I didn’t”! We’ve chuckled forever over this one, can’t explain why since we all know I’m that much older and thankfully still getting older and perhaps wiser too, but it stuck.
Notify
Alex asked she phone upon arrival and notify him the second she knew what was going on and she quickly tapped his picture and within seconds he answered. “You’ve arrived safely. You wouldn’t have called this quickly if you hadn’t spotted a problem. How long have you been there, five minutes?”
Research
If Steven’s research was correct, and he knew without a doubt it was, then they could do no better than add Nancy Fairmont to their company. She was clearly a front runner and would bring huge benefits to the company in her expertise; her abilities in communication were legendary, as well as her intuitive understanding of people and relationships. She was an all-round winner.
Initiation
My initiation into the writers, photographers and poets within Wordpress was absolute heaven for someone who loves reading writing and learning.
Languid
Since I’m retired, long weekends mean little in one sense, for me at least. Life continues on as usual to a degree and doesn’t change my lifestyle overmuch. The pleasurable part of a long weekend is spending relaxed downtime with family. So to some degree, I am touched by them in that there is a more languid feel about them.
Incredible!
I’ve heard some incredible voices in my day, but this woman is beyond spectacular and incredible. Hope you enjoy.
Substantiation
He was stunned when he opened his email and found substantiation he could use to prove his innocence even though it came from an unlikely source.
Problematic
I love that word too. Problematic. It doesn’t have the connotation of unsolvable, unfixable or unchangeable just complex, tricky, awkward, or controversial.
Contentious
When this word came up, there were several topics that came to mind. The current political landscape (worldwide but the US in particular) and let’s face it, the President of the USA has behaved contentiously and has managed to polarise the country in a way not seen in years.
Outlast
https://onedailyprompt.wordpress.com/2019/08/19/your-daily-word-prompt-outlast-august-19-2019/ I’ve chatted about architecture on occasion and my love of many types designs and structures. Norman Foster once said, “Quality is an attitude of the mind.” He preferred “simplicity” of design while Frank Lloyd Write’s architecture was “organic”. I was introduced to their differing styles years ago and every now and again I take […]
