Succinct

People expect you to give them long answers when they ask you a question and that sucks.

I feel like you should speak how you please. There is always going to be that one person who wants you to explain yourself but want every detail like it matters( unless you really have to).

If you able to get your point across in a short sentence. Then do so.

Remember to choose your words wisely. Ask yourself does this situation need a long paragraph to explain myself or can I use a short sentence and hopefully they’ll understand your point.

The past two days have been gloomy and it might rain all day like it did yesterday. Either way, I wish you a good day!

Placate

Two years ago I got called into work on a post for my job with security. It was some shady apartments on South Orange Blossom Trail in Orlando Fl. The street was nice during the day but night time was the danger zone. Any bad thing you can think of was happening on that street and I honestly didn’t like being there but I got used to it.

One day there was almost a fight at the apartments I got called into. I was also working with someone else too but he wasn’t no help lol( Just Saying). Two mans started arguing but I forgot why. I stood right in between of them. I was strong enough to keep them apart.

I quickly realize these dudes didn’t want to fight, they were just acting tough in front of their wives or girlfriends because they were both watching.

I got their attention by calling them pathetic. I wasn’t supposed to say that, it just came out but they both got quiet. I was able to question them and allow them to explain themselves. In the end, it was all a big miss understanding.

I was proud of myself at the end of the day. It’s kinda hard to calm people down when they heated like that but I guess luck was on my side that day. Also, remember words can calm someone down and my co-worker, he was still no help.

I hope you’re having a good Friday!!!

Mirth

My girlfriend birthday is coming up soon but sadly I’ll be working but I’m still trying to get the day off or switch days with someone else.

Earlier this week I plan a hang out day for us on Friday which is today.  I plan to take her to the mall to buy her a Pandora set, out to eat and to the movies. By the way, the Pandora store really has some nice jewelry. I suggest you check them out.

Her mood changes quickly, she was full of laughter when she was picking out the set she wanted. I guess the workers enjoy her company because it took her a good 45 minutes to choose. She was happy and full of joy when she left the store.

I guess that what happens when you make someone day, She low key going through allot at the moment but still can smile and enjoy her day.

Today is gloomy but that not going to stop me from having fun today and I hope you’re having a good one!!!!

Woebegone

Left is too short to be miserable all the time. There are so many things to do in life that you shouldn’t even feel sad in the first place.

If you’re feeling sad, talk to someone. I know so many people who would hold it in beside letting the person know how they feel. I’m not saying it’ll help but it’s a start.

And if you’re able, find the problem of you being miserable, try to correct it. It can be your job, life, bad relationship, toxic people and many more but only you can solve it.

Life is no joke when you’re sad so try your best to be happy, life is better that way and I hope you’re having a great Sunday!! And remember, make sure you smile today!

Deviate

One day, you’re going to decide to walk down a path and when you do. Make sure you stand tall.

Allot of things or people will try to knock you off your path to greatness. But you shouldn’t allow them to get close, ignore them and continue on your path.

I’m sure we all had set goals this year and I hope we all on the right path so far. It can be a struggle but we must hang in there because if you don’t walk this path, you’ll see yourself as a failure and you don’t wanna feel that way.

Always be deviant in your path and to never give up. I’m in good mood and don’t know why but I hope I stay like this and I also wish you a good day.

Gregarious

Two lovers who were also warriors from rival villages who met on a gloomy night in battle. Amaze by her beauty, he didn’t try to harm her and she didn’t attack either because she felt a connection.

They both agree to team up and abandon the war they were in to move to another village that was living in peaceful times.

Even though they were from different villages, they both enjoy each other company. Enjoy it so much they decided to live together. Enjoy each other company so much, they have gotten married after 3 years of being together.

They weren’t from the village but they were well respected. People knew their power but with all that power they hold no threat because they were love caring couple and they also protect the village from bad guys.

Everyone enjoy them being around and they were so well respected, they became leaders of their village. They taught the whole village how to enjoy one another and even accept outsiders and taught them it’s all about love and no war.

Enjoying some good company is always a good thing. We are on our phones so much we forget to look around and speak to people. we forget to enjoy the company with one another but that can change. Enjoy the company around you and have fun and I hope you have a good day!

Evanescent

 I’m going to use this word because of my job.

Most of y’all know I do security at a nursing home/retiring center in St.Pete Fl. It’s sad to watch the resident’s memory’s fade away and when that happens, they are all put on the 2nd floor in the midrise building which is not a bad area. Just easy to watch them.

It’s even sadder when you have a conversation with them and they don’t remember your name even though they say it every time when you see them. Or when you patrolling the property and you notice a resident walking to the dining room and it’s close. They always say that I was late or lost track of time but you know deep down inside you know they didn’t remember eating 3 to 4 hours ago because you were the one who took them home earlier.

When I think of it. It makes me sad but the residents don’t let that slow them down. They still have fun playing cards games that they relearn every day, they still talk to you even though they going to forget less than 2 or 3 minutes, they still tell you old stories from the old days like the 40s or 30s and etc which is cool. 

One thing I can say that I also learn from them. Even when your memories are fading away doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy your life and I like that about them because they always fill with life.

I Hope you’re having a great Friday morning so far and if you have to work I wish you a fast shift and I also wish you a good day!

Indepedence

I was always taught to be independent in life, my grandparents always told me only you can take care of yourself. Yeah, you’ll meet and find somebody in the future but always remember to take care of yourself just in case your life hit a wall.

And they were right, my life hit a couple of walls when I couldn’t turn to no one for help but I always came on top because of the tough love for independence.

They’re going to be sometimes when a wall blocks our paths. Never be scared of that tiny wall. We go through stuff every day but still wake up to fight the same battle over and over and over again. But one day you’ll win that battle because you realize it’s only you holding yourself back and nobody else.

And when you do win that battle, be proud of yourself and prepare yourself for the next one because there is always something around the corner.

I do hope you enjoy your day with some good food/fireworks and Happy 4th!!!!

Conniption

Many of us always rage throughout the day and we never notice it because we do it all the time.

Take time to yourself and see what make you rage less than a second.

If you were able to find this problem of yours, try your best to fix it because only you have the power to.

Since I’m a gamer, only one or two things can make us rage and that probably a laggy game or when the game has glitches everywhere and the GM refuses to fix it. Or if the game is broken or either pay to win. I’m sure there more for gamers but that’s just an example.

Try not to rage and if you ever feel like you need to just chill. Life to short to be mad at something when it doesn’t even matter.

I hope we all didn’t rage today and I wish you a good evening.

Emphatically

Emphatically eh? nice word to use and I’m sure we can all relate to it.

I dislike when I witness people always trying to force stuff on people. Like a relationship, friendship, religion and many more. 

Never allow someone to force something on you. You’re your own person and shouldhttps://wordofthedaychallenge.wordpress.com/2018/06/30/emphatically/ be able to live your life freely. Quit looking for people to Validate your life and always know the people in your circle so you can avoid certain things like that.

People have done the same with me and I stop them right in their tracks when I notice they tried to force certain things I wasn’t cool with down my throat. Sometimes you just have to let people know. If you say nothing, they will keep trying and be trying like no tomorrow and that sucks. You don’t need that negatively in your life.

Don’t allow people to get in your spirit and tell you something that you can’t do and if you enjoy something? connect to it. Today been gloomy all day and it also been raining nonstop. That means work is going to be busy or slow but I hope it’s slow today. I wish you a good day and I hope you’re having better weather than me.
