One of my dad’s favorite annual gifts was his “Word-A-Day” calendars. One of us would always get him a new one for Christmas every year. Each day of the week had a new word and the definition for that word. A new word wasn’t revealed until the previous day’s word had been torn off the calendar.
As if my dad wasn’t “loquacious” (one his favorite “new” words) enough, Dad loved using the new words he learned.
Dad and this day have inspired me to post a word every now and then. Here is my word for the day. - Déjà vu
“The experience of déjà vu is usually accompanied by a compelling sense of familiarity, and also a sense of "eeriness", "strangeness", or "weirdness". - Wikipedia
"1. feeling of reliving something: a feeling of having experienced something before, although in fact it is the first time that it has been experienced. 2. boredom: a state of boring familiarity or repetitiveness." - Encarta
I don’t know what made that word pop into my head today (teehee), but I thought I’d just toss it out there and wondered if anyone else has ever experienced “Déjà vu”.
I hope everyone is having a great day!
Bugs

People are great! I love animals. Humor is very important as are tolerance and compassion. The “Golden Rule’ is good and “There but for the grace of God go I,” is true. My faith defines who I am as a person. I always learn a lot more when I’m listening than when I’m talking. Sometimes my humor and fingers run ahead of my brain so if I ever personally offend anyone, please smack me upside the head and tell me so. One of my all time favorite quotes is from the television show “Frasier”. “Civilization's not going to progress one iota unless someone points out when peoples' manners are remiss.” Daphne Moon. If I had to choose a movie which most paralleled my life, I’d be torn between Prince’s “Purple Rain” and “Forest Gump”. "Feather" from "Forest Gump" and "Purple Rain" are the theme songs posted on my "about me" page at my website. My life has been a wild and adventurous ride filled with laughter, pain, glamour, heartache, and joy. From one minute to the next, life never seems to be the same as the day before. I’m the epitome of narcissism and try to remain humble. Feel free to comment at any time, just, in the words of a popular blogger, “keep it real”. I’m here to have fun; please do the same.
