un.bon.mot

shoulda named it as such!

but it was late at night and I was so tired [italics]

As I get myself together after eight months [bold] in horrible hospitals, I begin to be EXCITED. TWO n a half WEEKS putting my life back together is beginning to resolve; but I’m still fearful.

The thing about the new domain name, “unbonmot,” is that my son gave it to me forcibly in my head last night.

otherwise I would have scrabbled for hours frustrated and desperate.

I am on a new tablet, hence the glitches, love it though.

so, “un bon mot” is French for “a good word.”

There are two things I like about this.

it is telling me to pull my mind out of the gutter, just as it says in the New Testament, and keep my mind fixed on things that are beautiful, admirable and lovely,

also, second, the Word; not necessarily in the grand sense but the way the kids used to use it 5 or 10 years ago instead of “cool “– they would just say “word” on the phone to say, “gotcha, I’m on the phone, can ‘t talk right now.” Or whatever else they needed to say. That was how interpreted it back then, anyway, but still it seemed very beautiful.

then, also, giving someone a good word, putting in a good word for someone, a good reference, saying something nice about someone or any person, place, or thing.

So, asking the Lord to lift me up a bit is something else on both our parts here. I have just been through a devastating experience.
