April 27th, 2017 ONE word...You

This question, as with others, was sent by text.  So, given the one word answers frequently used in texting I thought I might strike gold.   Well, it wasn't goLd, but it was goOd.

Choose ONE word to describe yourself.  Why this word?

Izzy's text to Sian:  IF you can't remember when you last laugh[ed].... then perhaps choose a word describing you today.

Sheri's text:   She said good.



See what I mean?   I was looking for one of those words she often uses while I hear her dancing in the house, and singing over the phone...  "fantastic"   "wonderful"  "hap-hap-happy"  or something.... but I must admit ... the first phrase I learned from Sian was "I'm good."    We even say "all good" to inform each other when, at times, although it is rough going, it is "all good" and "under control."


So what word would I use to describe myself?  Creative... Why?  Although there are other words which can be used ... and quite clearly describe me... creative is a word I think I would like to use today.  It describes the type of flexible maneuvering my psyche performs when I look at my granddaughter.  What used to sound and softly behave as Grace Kelly, now is boldly, assertively, and quite independently an 8 year old Joan Jet of sorts.  Creative in my use of communication as I can't see her as often as I wish, creative in the use of funds to accomplish taking of me as well as giving her token efforts of items.  Also, it brings to mind a comment about my life's approach.   Mindy once said... "A box?  Lisa doesn't just think outside of the box... she doesn't even bother with the box."  My son thanked me for loving him, and acknowledge I did so with unconventional methods.  I'll create for the reader the image of water, rolling over rocks, seeping through holes in brick walls, frozen, liquid of steam... water has a way of getting to "the next thing."
