The words we live by

"I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong.
I believe that happiest girls are the prettiest girls.
I believe that tomorrow is another day,
and I believe in miracles."

Calling All Logophiles!




In pursuit of a better vocabulary, I'm beginning a "Word of the Day Column" on our blog. I kindly solicit your help in...

crafting a sentence using the "WOTD" and posting in the comments section;

using in your daily conversation with me,;

posting a picture that illustrates the definition;

enlightening us with the French (or language of your choosing) equivalent;

or whatever strikes your fancy...

I'm trying to learn at least 30 words a day, so feel free to share other words that you believe should be part of a well-rounded vocabulary.

Today's WOTD is alacrity (noun: eager and enthusiastic willingness) or (adj: cheerful readiness)

My sentence: I hope you accept my invitation with alacrity.
