Eureka!
The Perfect Thanksgiving Word
Before
you head into our annual day of attitude
with gratitude, give this week’s Wordplay Wednesday a creative moment of
thought … it’ll set your mood, I promise …
REDINTEGRATE (ri dinʹtɘ grātʹ) vt. – to make whole or perfect again; reunite;
reestablish. [WW #244*]
Great vintage photo dinner idea from Country Living |
With this week’s word we celebrate what many of us
are attempting on Thanksgiving … redintegrating our families and
friends with the opportunity to bring us full circle through another year …
together … even if only in spirit.
Let’s raise our glasses in thanks,
while we look forward to a colorful
New Year and a new decade … together … as
a family—in theory or reality—a community, and a society. This decade has
been tough. Lighten it up.
Discuss … together … what good has come of the struggles, and
how it can be enhanced. Embrace unity to redintegrate those who
comprise your inner circle, and urge the ripples to reach far and wide.
Life isn’t perfect, but in the essence of Thanksgiving,
redintegrate is—it defines the day of gratitude that we may not
be able to replicate often during our busy lives. Closing out a year and a decade,
however, is a reason to coalesce with solace. With resolutions to do better.
Word Challenge: REDINTEGRATE. Whether you have a clan at the table, or a tableful of memories,
reunite your thoughts to give thanks this week for simply being, as you fit redintegrate into your week of grateful writings.
Learning knows no prejudices or boundaries, and it isn’t fattening!
Expanding your mind is a no-cost, simple joy. Do you feel that way too? What’s
your inspiration? Share your creative genius and Wordplay Wednesday comments below.
