Welcome to Litsy!

The formatting of the book was pretty blah. I feel like the presentation could have been nicer. The categories of quotes made sense. I don‘t know much about publishing, so that was over my head. A lot of quotes on writing. More than reading.

This is a new word for me! #WeirdWordWednesday

abseil (ab-sale) - to go down a steep drop by a rope fastened at the top and tied around one's body.

Excerpt from: "Collins English Dictionary and Thesaurus Essential" by Collins Dictionaries.

Be the hope you want to see in the world. ❤️

I admit to having been a #mrsgrundy sometimes in the classroom. 😖🤣😊

Pronounced TUR-Shuh in Irish or TOOR-shuh in Scottish I think many of us are experiencing this in a deep way.

The antidote is to find joy, gratitude, etc.

My daughter sent me this link today and it was the perfect antidote. President Obama telling the story of one woman‘s voice energizing him, a room and a movement. Fire it up! Ready to go!

Anencephalous: Absence of a brain.

My brain is often absent! 🤣🤣🤣

I came across this one today. It comes from 'elegy'. Another definition calls it wistfully mournful, which I liked
The book I read it in was describing a poem in which "she sees the woman she‘s in love with sitting next to a man, and admires his composure. Because she knows if she were the one sitting next to the woman, she would be at a loss for words."
I've been reading a lot more poetry this month so I appreciate this new word

I may have to have this beer tonight! 🤣

Stumbled upon this word in my last read - The Devil and Mrs. Davenport (great book). I didn‘t know there was a specific word for speaking in tongues, but I mean, apparently there is a word for everything 😂🙌🏻 #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday
