May the words I say to children, and the words I write to others leave behind a little magic.

May the words I say to children, and the words I write to others leave behind a little magic.
Let’s hear it for all those pesky vocab lists! For a few summers, Ma would buy us each(my younger brother and myself) a vocab book to improve our vocabulary one day at a time…that quickly morphed into one week at a time and of course by the end of the summer those paperbacks were tossed aside in favor of other paperbacks. The one word I remember really ‘getting into’ was: pugnacious. HA!
Great quote. I know that’s not exactly what you meant by passing on this quote, but that’s the first thing that popped into my head –

Great story, Laura. Pugnacious. I need to look that one up! Thanks!
Mere words have often changed the world view, for good or ill, and that is what makes them so magical. Great post, Jennie! 🙂 Karen
Thanks, Karen. You said it well!
Nice re-blog, Jennie. I have never read any Harry Potter, but I know that it encouraged so many people to read again. So it’s a great thing in that respect.
Pugnacious is a great word. It is also of the origin of the nickname for a professional boxer, a ‘Pug’.
Best wishes, Pete.
I did not know the origin of the word. Thanks! Harry Potter is excellent. That quote, how words can become magic, certainly resonates with me. Glad you enjoyed it, too.
Love this, Jennie! ❤ Completely sounds like you. Harry Potter is a mystical adventure, I remember reading it and feeling like I was in a world of friendship and possibilities. You are a sweetheart. Blessings and happy weekend, Debbie 🙂
Thank you, Debbie! All the best to you. 😀
