What You Can Do With Just One Word A Day

Words are everywhere to be seen on paper, your computer, a menu, on a billboard, everywhere you turn.

When spoken out loud, the tone of our voice and the words we use help us communicate our feelings to each other.

With words we can make someone feel happy or sad. A word is powerful!

I LOVE YOU
I’M SORRY
I’M DISAPPOINTED IN YOU
I’M PROUD OF YOU

The definition of a word leads to several words that help describe the first words meaning. Some of you enjoy looking in the dictionary to choose a new word to use in conversation, to create a inspirational quote or finish your book.

Favorite Ways to Use A Word

One way I love to use a word is to write it in my journal. Circling or highlighting this word, I then select other rhyming words around it is a challenge. This helps form the beginnings of my poems! (I kind of have a thing for poems!)

However you choose to use words in a day can be exciting even if you are working a crossword puzzle or creating your clever Pinterest Pins!

Writing is a wonderful and frustrating way to express what is piling up in my head every second.

I try to be creative while describing a scene in a poem and story. Several journals lay around my office area with a brief description of a character and their timeline events.

Sending out letters to a penpal from your mailbox and even emailing or messaging family and friends is a great way to throw in your favorite word of the day!

My Favorite Word Game

My favorite word game is to choose my word for the day. Taking my journal, I write the word at the top of the page. From that one word, I try to see how many words I can make from my word for the day.
