words

A newscaster used the word "retro" today. It made me think of the words we use and their meaning. For instance, I feel the words "awesome" and "epic" are over used. We have a tendency to say "your hair looks awesome" or " that book was epic". There's so many exquisite, alluring and radiant words in the dictionary and we use the same words to communicate . I happen to like the word "lovely". It's a dainty and delicate word that flows velvety and rhythmic from my tongue.

Once upon a time the word "groovy" was used. It doesn't exist in the  dictionary but the word "ain't " does. I'm not criticizing our vocabulary but rather trying to determine where I stand in this generation. Even though I was born in the early 60's brings me to the conclusion that I'm adaptable and I'm still learning. Ain't that groovy?

question mark...

Today I searched the blog world and read different blogs written by women. One particular blog was dedicated to a pair of shoes she wore over the weekend. She had 5 photos of the same pair and had tons of comments for it. Is it really that easy? Can I have tons of comments for wearing a cute pair of shoes? Well maybe not shoes ( read previous post) but maybe wearing a cute bracelet. I realize blogging can be anything we want it to be and that's okay but I wonder what the audience REALLY likes? Are we looking for true feelings and real life situations or are we looking for cute outfits? For me  I'm looking for the real deal...real life situations that gets me thinking. I want to know how people handle situations then have tons of comments which lead to a discussion. 

I'm a serious person when I'm passionate about a subject. I get excited and I talk with my hands. I'm also really funny and I make people laugh. I actually love to laugh. It's good for the soul. Not everything has to be serious and liking a pair of shoes is okay but for me I like reading about real life situations. I did learn that there's nothing wrong with boxed wine...good to know.

I like deep conversation...check

I like thought provoking quotes ...check

I prefer bracelets over shoes...check

A "dress"

I bought a new dress this week and I was going to write about my experience because it was comical and silly and had to do with body issues but that can wait. Instead I need to write about my comical and silly OCD. I opened my computer today and couldn't concentrate. My bed wasn't made and the kitchen floor needed cleaned even though I  cleaned it 2 days ago. I walked away from my blog and did chores instead. By the way I don't like the word "chores" so I'm gonna think of another word to replace it. Anyhow I came back to my blog and I feel so much better.

I'm a little mad at myself ( just a little) because I let my OCD take over but then I feel free because I got it out of the way. There's so much talk about OCD and ways to control it but at this point in my life I've accepted it. For me it's easier to give in than it is to control it. I find no reason to seek therapy because I've realized it's who I am and I like who I am. It's taken me a long time to accept myself. So what if I have days like this. The good news is I bought a cute dress.
