Might be strange, but I come from a family who has a love for words. Crosswords, crypto-grams, word searches and other word games. I fondly remember watching Grandma Marg doing her word searches or sharing a book with me called "Anguished English". It's fun to go to Grandma and Bumpa's house on any day and see a crossword going. Sunday crosswords are the best..they each do half (how cute is that?). I remember my mom coming home from working 11p-7a and straining to keep her eyes open while she struggled to figure out the crypto-gram.
Now, I find myself developing a love of words. Whether it's a simple crossword (I'm still at the EASY ones) or a quote I happen upon. I love words. I LOVED writing college papers (yea, I know..I'm one of those..) because I could experiment with words.
So, in a very odd way, I'm thankful for the gift of expression. Words are powerful. They can make one laugh, cry, remember, think, etc. It's the one thing that once said, you can never take back. My family has instilled the love of words in me. (hmmmm...blog idea...What's the Word Wednesday).
