Co-pi-ous [koh-pee-uhs]

"Exhibiting abundance or fullness, as of thoughts or words... Large in quantity or number"

I had to stop and help myself to a few snaps of this beautiful, copious crop of Sunflowers popping up along side the road. Farmer drove by and stopped to tell me to 'go on and take as many of them flowers as you'd like'. Yeah, me! So I did, and even returned a week later for a few more.

Instant sunshine!

Hospitalitizer

You won't find this one on Dictionary.com. Meaning: host/hostess.
As in "you are an excellent hospitalitizer." I think this is too cute, and quite a nice compliment at that! I ran across another word, "possibilitarian", on Kellyraeroberts.blogspot.com. Another fantastic suggestion. Be a possibilitarian. I am afraid I am too optimistic and see all of the possibilities and become stymied by the options available.

But its got to be better than being a pessimissitarian...

Radiant [rey-dee-unat]

"Emitting rays of light; bright with joy/hope"Hubby spotted this beauty fluttering about the garden this morning, enjoying a refreshing little sip from a peppermint blossom. Flitting through the day, doing what needs to be done and apparently very happy to do so.

We should all live in such absolute radiance; wouldn't you agree?!

Abracadabra

Aramaic, meaning: "I will create, as I say"


I learned something new today. This silly-sounding phrase is actually a real word, with a terrific meaning. If we want something to pass, say it out loud and add "Abracadabra"! Who knew?
What could be easier.
Love it!
