Word for the day – WORD
word (just the right … phrase) n: mot juste {French} That words matter has few dissenters, especially among those who try and make sense with them. The right word is the writer’s Holly Grail. Often elusive, the mot juste is the lullaby that sends one into rapturous sleep, while its evil twin-the ill-chosen-word-can have the opposite effect. (Kathleen Parker, “Putting Words to Rest.” Oakland Tribune, 7/8/2006.)

I have always lived life to the fullest. I have felt great joy and excruciating pain. I have succeeded and failed many times. Some people called me reckless others courageous. None of the views of others mattered until two years ago when I faced death like a Tuesday evening date. I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Cancer. My life changed the moment the words "You have cancer" was spoken. Now everything I do I am conscious of. Please join me on my blog Stage 4 Living Life to the fullest with Cancer. Or my blog Mary Mary Quite Contrary. PEACE
