Clover

Too many things in my head for this word too. Including a slightly off color song about a roll in the clover.

I also think about four leaf clovers. I knew someone once who had a ritual of finding a four leaf clover every place she worked out of town. Always looked for one, and always found one before she returned home. Every time.

Chorus.

Lift your voice in joyful chorus?

High School chorus is coming to mind. Ugh. What a wreck. Why am I getting so aggravated thinking about that? Because it was a waste of time I suppose. Boring… learned nothing…. I think I stayed a year (a year too long!) before I quit.

What I remember most about chorus was the teacher coming in one day, noticeably pregnant, and saying “I guess you’ve all noticed I’ve been putting on weight.” – Um no. No one had noticed at all. On Friday she’d been skinny, then Monday she was “suddenly” very pregnant.

Deadbolt.

I see it, I see the door, I hear the sound.

I picture a woman behind that door. A man locking it. The bolt clicking into place. The lock. Unopenable. Used for security, to keep people out. So who was the woman in the closet/room he’s locking in?

Maybe it would be better if the lock were on her side… and there was a secret passage to get her out. A passageway in the stone room. And the deadbolted door, once locked, the outside won’t see.

Trailer. The first thing I thought of was a movie trailer. Then a trailer in a trailer park.

- maybe a trailer *about* a trailer park!

Or someone leaving a trail as they walk on the beach. A trail left by the long tail they had hanging behind them as they walked.

…. maybe that’s how the word came about. From people with long tails leaving trails on the beach.

Strength.

What is true strength. Often, when I hear people condemning someone for their weaknesses, the accusers are the people I consider “weak.” I think strength is doing what’s right, always. As close to always as possible anyway. Weakness is being silent, doing nothing, and pretending you don’t see.

Success.

The first thing that comes to mind is a camp cheer. I won’t write it out because it would take up the whole 60 seconds.

I also think of “How to succeed in business….” (a musical.)

I think of success in businesses and life.

I think of people shouting “SUCCESS!!”

I feel like I have NOT been very successful writing something creative on this word today :P

Plans.

As in “the best laid…”

I’m making plans all the time. I wish I could get more done. I don’t make big plans for things that I know are unattainable. I just mean little plans to try to get through the day’s work, or this pile, or that form, or some other daily/weekly/life-ly “to do.” If and when I do make a big plan, it always comes through. Because I’m a good planner :) But I don’t make a plans for something I know I can’t complete.

In a galaxy far far away….

NEVER SURRENDER! NEVER GIVE UP!

Oh my gosh all the things that come to mind with the word galaxy… Infinite space… infinite combinations….

I panicked about that once. In short, since I’m almost out of time, it occurred to me that if I was “lost in space” outside of our galaxy -heck probably even INside our own galaxy, I would have no freaking idea how to get home. NO clue which particular speck of light, among the billions of specs of light, would be our solar system. I still don’t know.

Ego. Id, ego, superego.

Ergo…

See? I go straight to definitions. I guess today it’s because when I think of egos, I think of people with over enlarged egos and it’s not an area I want to think about. So from there I’d have to go to “ego” in the psych sense and -yawn…

Purpose Lol!

“Entry Form” was not previously there on purpose ;)

I would like to move forward with purpose. I have so much to do today and it would be nice to get some of that done. But it’s freaking cold here right now and that’s making it hard to do much besides curl into little ball to conserve heat!
