I think it's high time we had some more fun group interaction, don't you agree? So here's my latest zany idea for getting to know one another: Below, I have listed 5 word pairs. Without over-thinking, stressing, or obsessing, choose the word from each pair that most resonates with your essential self. Go with your gut. Then post your string of chosen words in the comments section below.
Feel free to provide some commentary with your word string or just let it hang in the air, all on its own. Word pairs are below, and I'll get the party started with the first comment as an example. (And if you've never made a comment here before, now is the perfect chance to dip your toe in!)
- Vivacious or Symmetrical?
- Wings or Depth?
- Thunder or Autumn?
- Hope or Simple?
- Rest or Trust?

HA! What DOES it mean? I don’t know! But I am finding it interesting. So far, no one has selected the exact same 5 words. It’ll be interesting to see if that happens… You and I are the only “vivacious wings” so far, though!
I also thought it was interesting that no one had picked the same sequence of words (yet). Vivacious wings sounds like those scary cutesy cherubs that you can get at Hallmark stores. Not that there’s anything wrong with scary cutesy cherubs …

Annette — your blog url is incorrect — I believe you meant alifeafterloss. Thanks for sharing — I’m going to forward your blog to my sister — she is struggling, differently than I am, through the loss of our Brother, Mother, and Father all in the same year.
Annette — I’ll go in and fix your link!
Thanks Joy. I just saw this on google. My correct blog is alifeafterloss.blogspot.com. I hope Debby was able to send her sister there. Thanks for all the positive input on your blog. It’s inspiring and fun.

rest. This is how I am feeling today, and it has been a ruff weekend.
Oh, Teresa, I’m so sorry to hear that.
Hope things get better for you today.
Did you notice you and Michele picked the same words? COOL!
I totally love this idea! Going to try to not over-think this!

Rest
I was just thinking about how I think my answers would change significantly depending on the day. For example, it’s raining here now, so thunder seemed the appropriate choice. And I’m tired, so rest sounds WONDERFUL!
Ashley @ Nourishing the Soul´s last [type] ..People– places– things — Identifying triggers
Yes, I think the day could have an impact. And it also depends on how people are thinking about their choices — like, are you choosing the word you like best? The one that represents you? The one that fits with your life right now? The one you want or need in your life? It would be interesting to know how people made the decision. I just tried to center myself and pick the word that felt right, whatever that means!

Interesting to ponder how this might have been different if I did it at a different time.

As someone who writes for a living, I have to say that words are important to me–some resonate, some don’t.
This is neat…
