robust

being intentional with word choices
moving from general to specific to precise

robust vocabulary expands
your ability to express yourself

ornaments

stories strung together
on the Christmas tree

experiences

focus on experiences

amplify your life

replace

one choice replaces another

I'm so glad I walked
at the beach this morning

a pod of dolphins
joined me heading south
for half an hour

I craned my neck westward
with a smile on my face

transformation

it takes a gentle boil
to turn sugar, butter and water
into caramel

melding, morphing
into something
yet to be

thanks giving

not just a dinner

an action

pride

Yesterday, my daughter
posted her word of the day
"accomplish"
while I camped at the 3 day walk

She continues to "accomplish"
much that makes me proud
