Breath our scents, walk our landscape, hear our melodic dialects, delight in our savory morsels, touch each rich texture, and the southern essence remains a mystery. The ethereal south, unfathomable to the five senses, lives in the heart. If you believe in magic, and can survive the devastating passions of an open heart, just possibly, you stand a chance of living a moment as a southerner. Most people aren't brave enough to be southerners, even the ones that are.

Value is a “V” Word

If you read that quote very (another "V" word) carefully you will find it a bit confuzzling. Never mind that. You will have your own valuable idea from it, and that's what matters. I had a difficult time picking from all the worthy “V” words for a word of the day. There seems to be so many positive and beautiful “V” words. I never realized! Maybe it’s more a matter of my outlook than dictionary. Honestly I haven’t looked in the dictionary yet, but already I have; victory, vim, vigor, vitality, vivacious, voluptuous, validation, valuable, vibrant, vision, virgin, virtue, vegetables, vanilla, veracity, vigilance, vindication, virtuoso, and vacation. Yes, even vaccination is a beautiful thing. Although it can be painful to receive, it prevents disease.

Do you have any positive and beautiful “V” words to share? Then post them in the comments. Meanwhile, let your value as a human being shine in all your words, not just “V” words.

Posted by Dread, who for the last several days of rushing about, has had a need for speed, or to put it in “V” terms, a value for velocity.
