The word for today is :- EXHILARATION.

[Kitosdad]

EX-HIL-AR-ATION. That wonderful feeling that you experience when everything in your life is going to plan. All is well with the world in general, and your life is improving in many ways.

You take a big breath and feel ..... GREAT.!!!

You've just finished a punishing 5 mile run, or 20 lengths of the pool. Now for a nice sit-down and a cuppa' and a fag ........ MARVELLOUS.!!!

I've just returned from a long walk with my dogs, and I feel exhilarated. It is a beautiful morning. The sun is shining, and there is a slight cooling breeze.

A wonderful day beckons, and it feels so exhilarating just thinking about it. A great day for just pottering around the garden, after which, I can sit in the sun and read a good book, before dropping off to sleep for forty winks.

So, cast off your gloom. Look around you at things that cost you nothing other than your time, and appreciate just how exhilarated it all makes you feel.

Good morning Sahid, I really had no idea that my ramblings were being read with such keen interest. You do me proud.

OK, then let me introduce you to lazy, or poetic, English.

1.) sit-down and a cuppa' and a fag
2.) A wonderful day beckons
3.) just pottering around the garden
4.) dropping off to sleep for forty winks
5.) cast off your gloom

1) Relax in the garden with a cup of tea and a cigarette.( fag )
2) The day before us gives every indication and promise, of being just wonderful.
3) Simply tending to the soil and watering the plants and bushes. Pottering.
4) Just sleeping in the sun for a short time. ( Forty winks. )
5) Cheer up and smile. ( cast off your misery )You will feel the better for doing so, and so will those around you.

Besides learning, your words spur me to think. They are so moving. I am away for a while but soon I will go through all "The word for today is" articles.
