Hello to all of my wonderful readers. Well, it is day number two at home after the big trip to New York City and the National Publicity Summit. I can honestly say that I am still tired from all the exhilaration the event created. For those of you who know me well, it will probably be a shock to you when I say that it was almost too much.
Meeting the producers of so many prime time TV shows and learning all about the advertising world was a lot to take in within just four days. I know that some of you think that I can do just about anything (hee hee). That is if I set my stubborn mind to it, then you are probably right.
However, I am looking forward to just slowing down a little this week and enjoying the little things like my children and snuggling under a warm blanket with my daughter, Ella, while she watches Scooby Doo on TV. I am sure that you have all been in a situation where you need a little down time; I am looking forward to that this week.
So, now that I have done my whining (and some of you are asking what kind of cheese do I want with that!) I have to smile and move on. I love it when I can crack myself up and laugh at the silly business that I make of my life. Isn’t that what makes life fun… the laughter we find in ourselves, even if not everyone gets our particular sense of humor?
There I go again… Let’s get down to business before I get side tracked once again. Today’s word of the day comes to us from Darlene Stampe of Pierre SD. She has chosen the word persistence. Great word, Darlene. I believe that I use this word in my everyday life on a regular basis…
Our definition comes from our online source at www.thefreedictionary.com
per·sis·tence (pr-sstns, -zs-) n. 1. The act of persisting. 2. The state or quality of being persistent; persistency. 3. Continuance of an effect after the cause is removed: persistence of vision. |
persistence [pəˈsɪstəns], persistency
n
1. the quality of persisting; tenacity
2. the act of persisting; continued effort or existence
3. the continuance of an effect after the cause of it has stopped persistence of vision
Okay, so as you can probably see there were two listing for the definition of the word persistence. I copied and pasted them exactly as I found them on the website. I have to say that I prefer the second version with the word tenacity. I have always thought that word was a great word to describe myself. In the book “Immortal Lost,” the Chosen are persistent in their battle against the Favored and Dylan Black has the tenacity of a soldier in the second book, “Dark Days”, which is coming soon…
Well, that is all I have for today. Until we chat again. Read On!
